bass response and coil mismatch....

[David Schwab]

The more unbalanced, the more of a single coil character you get in the top end, while keeping the low and mid ooomph. But I've already said too much...they're coming to get me, AUUUUGHHH!!!

I did a very unbalanced pickup recently. 1000 turns difference between coils. I decided to go that far because of an old Hi-A pickup I have, which is also mismatched by about that much.

I put the stronger coil towards the bridge (it was a bass bridge pickup). I was really quite interesting, sounding more like two single coils on together than a humbucker. it was very quiet too.

I plan on experimenting more with mismatched coils, now that I'm past worrying about adding noise...

Next up is my stacked Tele pickup. (and to Possum, yeah, you told me to try that back when I first wound that thing!)
