rootsbloodyroots Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 hi i was wondering if anyone could help me out im building my own bass (as you do) and i want to put both of the pickups directly beside each other (so that they are touching) so that i can get them right in the sweetspot of the bass. im wondering if this would cause any problems with feedback or the pickup magents if i make them touch. any help would be great. cheers roots Quote
Primal Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 What kind of pickups? If they are jazz, you can actually buy jazz humbuckers like you are wanting that are in a single package. Otherwise, why not go with a MM (since you are looking for the sweetspot anyway) or an EMG/Bartolini HB? Quote
rootsbloodyroots Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Posted July 25, 2006 they are dual coil open passive soapbars i was wanting to put them together to make a kind of uber pickup Quote
Primal Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Kinda like the MM Quad coils? As for your initial question, it should be just fine to put them side by side. Quote
rootsbloodyroots Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Posted July 25, 2006 cheers thats a big help i just looked at some delano pickups but they are mostly active and a bit bank balance draining so i'll just go with my original plan thanks again. Quote
