  • Deblasa inc pickup?

    I just pulled off a pickup cover from this humbucker to check how it would look on another humbucker. I always thought this was a rockfield pickup used by bc rich, but it said deblasa inc on it. Does anyone know anything about this pickup? It measures around 12k and has 2 conductors and nothing on the plate.Click image for larger version

    I've never heard of one, but it looks pretty cool. Hopefully someone here has some info for you.

        That's exactly what I was going to say. Sorry.

          Yeah, there's zero info about these. Was the cover stamped "Rockfield"? If not, it probably wasn't a Rockfield to begin with. What does the baseplate look like?

            No top bobbin on the screw coil? What's up with that? Does it affect the tone/performance of the pup? How did they even wind it?

              I think it's there, but its a translucent amber.

                  Jerry Sentell makes a humbucker like that; he calls it the Albino Zebra, a hybrid using 43 AWG on one bobbin and 41 AWG on the other.
                  Not saying it's anything like this one tonewise, just a similar very unusual look.


                  BTW, I've never heard of DeBlasa pickups either.
