New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

The super spreader set:

Neck
P-90 from phat cat as one coil of humbucker and duck bucker as second.

Bridge
A slug and el Diablo both shrunk into rail pickups then combined on a humbucker plate.
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

How about that single rail being one coil of the Slug?
We won't call it anything. It will name itself.

Put a bat logo on it and call it “The Wuhan Lab Experiment” or “The Dry-Wet Market” or the “What’s For Dinner”

Too late - Duncan already released their COVID ‘bucker.

It’s called The Antidote.








Because it doesn’t exist.
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

Ok, here it is: JB/Custom with double thick A5.
It's called the Herd Immunity.

Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

Overwinding the standard Invader would undoubtedly result in a mud-fest, BUT...

This idea could be really interesting if they were to perhaps use a custom wire gauge, like on the Custom Shop RTM pickup! In fact, I could totally see an overwound RTM-style trembucker with hotter mags and invader-style poles being a pretty dang cool combination!

Yeah I was going to say 14dcr invader trembucker with large hex-bolts,,,,,,, but there goes the 19 reference lol.
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

We need a bright, chimey humbucker with FAT mids and an aggressive and tight bass thump, that really screams with gain and has a p90ish midrange growl with a creamy vocal wail, but cleans up well with the volume knob and gives you that stratty squawking shimmer in the treble register.

It’s called The Panacea, and works equally well in both neck and bridge positions
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

List updated!

Honestly, I'm pretty surprised at the viability of most of these ideas!

Obviously, some of these concepts are a bit niche. So, to get a feel for genuine interest, I'll create a pair of polls next week. There seems to be a lot of "P-90" interest in all its forms, so those will end up in their own poll and I'll do a second poll for the other pickup ideas.

I will say Mincer's "PlagueBuckers" theme is super catchy!

I also like "The Vaccine" and the "Super-Spreader" from a naming standpoint, especially if it's a single pickup. Of course, I think my own "QuaranTele Set" was uber-creative, but, you know, personal bias and all. :18:

Of course, it's not up to me where this goes...I want YOU guys to vote on your favorite(s) and, if it pans out, I'll work on getting the idea(s) through to SD

What else you guys got?


EDIT: Demanic, I changed the name of your JB/Custom hybrid to "The Vaccine", hope you don't mind :)

Offer clear bobbins as a shop floor custom option and call it “The No PPE Protection” line.
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

The "recovery room" option...when the doc says you're "all clear"! :lmao:
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

Six pairs of individual string humbucking coils (a separate coil for each slug and screw) all in parallel mounted to a Humbucker baseplate, call it “The Isolator”
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

Woah! That's intense. Interesting concept, though...reminds me of the Zexcoil design with even MORE coils, LOL!

That would take some actual engineering and R&R investment.

Love the name "Isolator"! :14:
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

The various products we've pitched – singles, 'buckers, and pedals – should all be released together as the "Guitarmageddon" series
 
Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

What was the last forum pickup? The one that got finished was Fuglies I suppose. But I vaguely remember another but don't remember the details.

Re: New Forum Pickups: Quarantine Theme?

Just for fun... what I thought is: How about a medium output, punchy, present yet not trebly pickup set? Something that is percussive like a 6K a5 strat pickup but not trebly and/or shrill, powerful yet clear. A8 for power, screw coil with PATB kinda coil and the slug coil with either slugs or Allen heads. ~12.5K with #43? And a neck pickup to go with it...

The immunizor? :D
