I got the Alright I got the printed board schematic and harness schematics. Im also an idiot lol. Could you explain this like your talking to a small child please? Id really appreciate it if you could help point me in the right directions for understanding this more.

Ok I understand now. Found the preamp schematic for the pickups. Working on filter section now. I believe I have solved the majority of the mystery around these pickups at this point. Time to build. Experimenting not necessary anymore. Now designing bobbins

THANK YOU!!!

Alright. Learning more about pickups it appears anything is possible. Without pole pieces, it seems to reduce the overall output, and potentially add more highs, which I know is related. Depending on just how much it reduces the output, it may not have been possible with the extremely low wrap...

Me either. Its an assumption based on the fact that Rick Turner, who made the pickups, originally began by messing with Phil Leshes bisonics. He added a magnet to increase the width of the magnetic field and add power, I believe. Therefor, I assume he based his design around the bisonic...

Ok. this seems to line up dimensionally with what I have so far. A 1 inch wide ceramic magnet will leave almost the perfect amount of space for a wire wrapped around it about 3000 times. But that part doesn't make sense to me and must be my own arrogance. Is the wire wrapped around the magnet...

Alright so i've figured this much out now. -Winds -Wire -Dummy Coil Now im looking for bobbin shape.. magnet shapes... similarities and what not. Like would this be essentially a P90, Pole Piece magnet style, Bisonic? My assumption is that they are similar to bisonics. Another assumption is...

Hey everyone, im trying to nail down the series 1 or so Alembic bass pickups with the dummy coil. Heres what im certain of: -2.6ish output -Ceramic Magnet(s) -Single Coil with Separately housed dummy coil (not 100% here but about 95%) And nothing else. Has anybody ever been able to...

Hey everyone, Is there a chart or link somewhere for info on the minimum amount of wood lost on the edges of fretboard when sanding various radius? I can figure it out tomorrow but I'm wondering if it exists now to save some time. Thank you!!

Scratch build neck yes

Feel free to move as needed please and apologies if I posted in the wrong area

Scratch for the all of the wooden parts. Bought the bridge, tuners, guard, and BS-DS

He’s not the biggest fan haha

It’s a coil tapped BS-DS from Curtis Novak. I wound the J-pups with pretty standard specs. The wiring is typical Jazz bass wiring for the J-pups with orange caps for the tone. It has a Push-Pull that has normal wiring in down position and series wiring in the up. The switch is on what is...

I finished the first of what will be many Tractor basses. It’s awesome.
