7 to 9 string pickups

[Bassguy87564]

I have been call around and seachering the internet and i cant find enything higher than a 6 string pick up. I was thinking for a of just staging two pickup to cover but i really dont like the look and i dout the sound quality will be as good. I was woundering if enyone knew where i can find a 7 string pick up or if enyone can custom make a 7 string pickup. thanks

why not make your own? if you search the internet and threads here you will find tutorials on how its done. I havent tried it but apparently with a little practise you can get it ok
goodluck

Carey Nordstrand will wind custom pickups. He wound me a set of Fat Stack 8s. I've also seen Fat Stack 9s and 10s. I had also talked with Seymour Duncan and Aero before settling on Nordstrand and in the price department Carey beat them by a mile. Aero and Duncan wanted a lot of money. Duncan wanted $575 per pickup because they said they had to custom tool for the pickup. Nordstrand was less than that for the pair.

Hello,
+1000 Nordstrand
Carey is the man. Call him and he will solve your problem!

Kent Armstrong will also, most probably, make you a custom set. He would a few years ago, anyway.
But I must second the DIY approach. It's very rewarding, and with some patience and thoroughness, it will sound great - it's not computer science...

For my 7-string I also looked around a bit.
I found Aero but felt they were a bit too expensive.
Then I found BassCulture in Germany, much more interesting and reasonably priced. So I went with those: neodymium dual-coil pickups MM style.

I'd recommend BassCulture.

Oooohhhhh, Nordstrand's stuff looks nice.

Bassculture have some nice looks too though, love wood cased pups

I should have mentioned bassculture as well. They are quite reasonably priced. I'd like to throw a set in a bass I have in the very preliminary stages.
