Our new 4 coil Split-P humbucking pickup has the same foot print & string spacings ( just under 19 mm) as a regular Split-P, 4 string Bass pickup but with our multi-coil technology within. Full earth shielding creates a unit that operates without noise & gives extra clarity & punch to a pickup type that is already in a class of it's own. 

Built for musicians who are not satisfied with just flat-lining through life.

POWDER FOR PIGEONS

The fantastic Powder for Pigeons practicing for their new E.P. Rhys, the guitarist is using a specially constructed pickup set which includes a Cigar Box Guitar 3 string unit for an extra Bass channel output in the middle position. Coupled with 1 of our new Strat Bridge humbuckers, both units with neodymium magnets fitted. The result is a huge, larger than life  sound from a single instrument. Rhys offers his own hand made "Bush Pig Guitars" for discerning musicians from nearly impossible to source Tone Woods from his native home of Australia. I was lucky enough to meet up with Rhys & Meike in the summer & hear them play, just amazing !

Francisco recently discovered our 8 coil for Musicman. He writes...

"The Herrick 8 coil has turned my Stingray into a totally different instrument. Instead of the added bass frequency boost available on the factory model, that I feel is a negative point on the Stingray, The Herrick 8 coil sounds rounder with more natural Bass. I love the tone of Justin Chancellor from TOOL & with the Herrick 8 coil, I think I get pretty close. It is hands down, the best pickup I heard in a Bass".

Congratulations to Andy Rogers of AJR guitar mods who has been awarded Bass of the week by notreble.com for his stunning custom made Psilos bass which features minimalist design with hidden hardware. Andy has used a custom pickup from our workshop which is a Naked version of our punchy 4 coil for the neck position & a piezo bridge unit from Artec, controlled with one of John East's fabulous pre-amp modules.

INTRODUCING OUR 8 COIL HUMBUCKING BASS GUITAR PICKUP & 3 WAY SPLIT OUTPUT 8 COIL PICKUP

 

Designed as a replacement for MM. & O.L.P. style bass guitars. Featuring full earth shielding and eight individual, Hand Scatter wound, (reverse wound, reverse polarity) matched coils. These pickups are very quiet in operation with an absolute minimum of cross talk. 

 

Connects directly to the MM. factory electronics or can be wired passively, through 2 x Volume & 1 or 2 x Tone pots. 

The 8 coil pickup is now available in 2 types.

 

Type 1 features 2 x pseudo single coil outputs & 1 full 8 coil humbucking mode output.

 

Type 2 features 3 x full humbucking outputs in full 8 coil mode, split-P mode & reverse split-P mode. 

 

Both these 2 different 8 coil pickups offer the serious musician a versatile & muscular upgrade to a standard MM type instrument with greatly reduced noise.

The non standard cover colour pictured above in a stingray illustrates the type of custom options you can expect from us, black & white are also available.

 

These pickups are our most complicated to date, almost every part is hand made. With over 80 components making up this humbucker, the tone it produces & the amazing quietness in operation has made all the development issues of getting these Pickups to the production stage more than worthwhile.
