  • Half potted Humbucker?

    Just for fun and out of curiosity, how do you think a Humbucker that has only one bobbin wax potted would sound?

    Would this work? Would it still pick up microphonics as well as a fully potted bucker and have that nice, airy high end with a sharper attack?

    I think it would still pick up microphonics, but some of the attack would be rolled off (not fully though). It seems like a difficult thing to do, so I would interested to see how it would end up.
