I made a Music Man Pickup

[knarleybass]

Hi all,
well I have been at pickup winding for a while now, I came up with a MusicMan style pickup that I am pretty happy with. I have it installed in one of those Sterling SUB basses... wired VOL/VOL/Tone

I hope you all like it

Cool stuff! The jazz alone sounds just a bit too thin for me. I definitely want to hear one of these thrown in the neck position of an HH though.

Very cool! Delano does this too.

Very cool!
I'm surprised that the MM coil has so much of a sort-a-P-bass-like tone to it, being so close to the bridge. Is that due to its winding?
I split an original MM pickup and the north coil sounded nothing like that.
Your pickup definitely has quite a range.
I'd love to hear it in an active bass....I just prefer them that way.

Thanks Eastcoasteddie,
a lot of it is in the magnets wire and how the wire gets wound around the magnets. I had it at the gig last weekend, and I must say i was very happy with how it worked in a band situation
