Today my guest is the bassist/luthier/pick-up maker/electronics wizard Carey Nordstrand.

Carey was a musician first and then got into building basses in the mid-90s. He’s worked with some killer companies like Suhr Guitars. In 2002, he started Nordstrand Guitars and less than a year later he started to build his own pickups for basses and guitars. Over time, the demand for his pickups grew and thats when his company started. Carey has some really innovative, forward-thinking designs but also builds stuff for people with more vintage tastes. In 2017, he started Rocket Surgeon which is a collective of people who design cool gear ranging from stompboxes to Preamp/DI’s and changed the name of the company to Nordstrand Audio.
