Gard,

What Bart models are used on the SKB-3007?

The main reason I'm asking is I know Bart makes all kinds of coil configurations for their soapbars, and I want to know more about the ones in mine. Are they true singles, stacks, dual coils, etc? What kind of magnets do they have? Do you have any other information or specs on them?

They're a custom set of quad coils, the same ones we use on all of our LG/SKB/Century Signature models as the standard pickup. They are wound specifically for us, and we don't like to give our "secrets" out, so I can't really tell you any more.

Ok, thanks. Without giving away your secret recipe, can you describe what exactly a quad coil is? I'm only familiar with traditional singles, and dual coil stacks and buckers.

No big secret here, you can go to their website (www.bartolini.NET, not .com!) and get a fuller description, but it's basically a pair of their "side-by-side" humbucking J pickups in a humbucker/soapbar case. It allows some fancy arrangements of coils, which we never use, but they do sound a bit different than a standard humbucker.
