  • Lollar string through polarity?

    Can somebody tell me the polarity of the lollar string through supro/valve pickups? I'm winding a split coil neck pickup for a customer.

    its a 3X3 coil arranged end to end but offset so they are staggered like a P-bass arrangement- both are south up so both coils are out of phase with each other and they hum-cancel- the coils are wound and connected the same as the original, both wound the same direction and you connect either both starts together or both ends together so make yours the same way and you can phase it to match by flipping the magnets on the supro if needed- assuming yours has fixed magnets- if not you can flip your magnets.
    Make sense? Basically you'll either wind up with the phase matching on both coils between the two pickups - yours and mine that is (not the coils themselves in each pickup) - or out of phase with each other, flipping the magnets will reverse which coil generates a positive signal and which makes a negative signal.

      Thanks a lot Jason. I'll post some pictures of my progress.
