For sale Bartolini MM pup

If you have a piece of "magnetic paper" you should be able to see the difference quite clearly. Bartolini quad-coil MM pickups have a split in the magnets which shows up as a pale line between the A and D strings. So it will look like 4 magnetic regions on the paper. The dual-coil humbuckers will show as two magnetic regions which span all the strings.

No magnetic paper to be found.. But enscribed on the pup it states MME with 6 soldered posts.. Would that be of aby indication?
Thanks BTW for the helpful hints..

If the pickup model ends with "E" and it has 6 conductors/posts, then it is a triple-coil model. These are less common and have a "dummy" coil inside, which lets you use either of the other coils for a more single-coil-like tone.

There you have it.

I'm not quite following. Which one is it you have now so I can look up its charactoristics?

This one......

I don't think so. Here are the wiring diagrams for the Bartolini MME triple-coil pickup:

It looks like each of the two "sensing coils" are intended to be used together, or with the "dummy" coil. I think this precludes treating this as two separate pickups, with a volume control for each sensing coil.

Of course you could probably wire it up to do that, but you'd run the risk of picking up EM interference since it would only be humbucking when both volume controls were on full.

But you could wire it up with a switch (to select the coils) and then a passive volume and tone control (VT).

Tubby.Twins!!! Rules!!!!!!

100 each ? or both

Sorry only one for sale left.
