New pickup idea.

[Artie]

I was thinking of trying this myself, but wonder how well it would work.

Imagine mounting something like a Lil 59 and a JB Jr. side-by-side in the same standard-humbucker hole. They share the same magnets, which would fight each other if placed side-by-side.

So, you'ld mount them on a common, (ordinary), humbucker plate with an ordinary humbucker magnet. Use whichever one maintained the original sound qualities. This would give you the capabilities for four actuall pickups in a standard dual-humbucker guitar. The connection choices would be amazing.

Maybe it could called the "Double-Trouble" series, or something. And different combo's, like: Screamin Deamon/Duckbucker, Hot Rails/Cool Rails, etc.

What do you think?

Sounds pretty ambitious. I like the idea of the multiple personality pickup.

I would love to see Duncan make a full size humbucker version of the Hot Rails, using two bobbins with four blades total. And include a switch to select either bobbin, or run the two sides serial or parallel.

Re: New pickup idea.

Here are my dream pickups.

A motherbucker with two JB jr's back to back with eight conductor wiring.

A 1/2 pounder humbucker which would have two tapped QP's back to back with four conductor wiring.

A single coil with Alnico II magnets and vintage stagger that is wound ultra hot. Kind of a single coil version of Custom Custom. Fat, warm, and smooth with lots of oomph! A smoothed out overdriven version of a single coil. Like a Dimarzio SD-1.

Re: New pickup idea.

i think this is a great idea........especially for those people who arent exactly sure what they want......

Re: New pickup idea.

I've got the wiring drawn out. The hard part is buying that many p'ups. :yell:

Actually, I might try it with two, to start.

Hey this is realyy funny,I was thinking abouth this since the past 1year of puting a JB jr and lil 59 combo for the bridge. with a 3way switch, so i could switch between the two and use them both together. I really dont know how it would sound though.

My Kramer has that type of pickup, http://www.musicyo.com/product_specs.asp?pf_id=350&key=20

there is the Kent Armstrong Motherbucker, the idea seems very similar. All i can say is that the sound i get out of the quadrails when having all four coils of one humbucker going, it gives a very nice thick meaty sound with a good dosage of low end. I like it split aswell.
