As this is my first post an introduction might be needed. I am an hobbist luthier, build few instruments, the only electric one being a copy of a fender jazz bass, for which I also winded a couple of single coil pickups.
I am currently building a 5-string multiscale bass. Options for custom quad coil pickups with exposed poles (like delano MC/FE) ranges from rare to non-existant.
I have started looking around to assemble information to build a couple of them from scratch, but it is a challenging task.
My battle plan to build such a PU, with the tools I own would be something like:
1. source Alnico 5 9,5mm rod magnets.
2. sketch flatworks for the four coils (2 strings on front/rear coil1 / 3 strings on coil2).
3. assemble and wind coil 1&2 for each in-line pair RWRP.
4. connect in series coil1 end and coil2 start for each pair.
5. position the four coils on a base to have pole aligning with string course.
6. machine/3d print pu cover
Of course there are plenty other parameters to be defined, but before spending more energy I would like to know if something like this has any chance to even work.
Thanks in advance for your time.
