Dummy Coil
1.) adds fixed resistance and inductance
2.) downward resonance shift
3.) dummy coil must be somewhat matched in resistance and inductance for hum cancelation
4.) Like a crossover network
5.) Shifts the Response curve
6.) compromize the frequency response
7.) resonant frequency shift
8.) the magnets removed
9.) Using a dummy coil the DC resistance will change along with the tone and frequency response of the existing pickup
10.) You could use two dummies coils in parallel or in series
