Thanks to you for a great video.Excellent job. You are the only one to give such details as how you mounted the pickup to the winding machine Thanks to God for you.
Thank you very much, and yes, I have. Plastic or wood is best for me. Metal casings change the tone too much for me, as happens with humbuckers. Brass covers sound really muddy to me...
Hello, this is a great video, really. I would like to try to wind my own pickup, too. Just from sheer curiosity, it does not looks exactly like rocket science, so it might be a nice diy project (but I am very much aware that there are many potential pitfalls awaiting). I would like to ask you one thing, though. Sorry for my bad English, but from which material you make the bottom and upper part which hold the magnetic rods? I was wondering, how many parts can be actually 3D printed in this process... so what it is made from? But maybe plastic is not a good choice for these two parts because of soldering and wax dipping..? Anyway, thanks again for the video.
The more windings the more resistance , but stronger magnetic force which picks up more sound??? Louder more powerful?? Is this how you determine a more quality pick up from a poor one? Thanks
Thanks for the great video! Do you prefer level pole pieces (sound-wise) over raised A and D poles (for volume balance). It looks like you make both (?).
Great video thanks! What would happen if you used three or four magnets for each string? Would you have more volume or power? I know nothing about this subject, so, just asking...thanks!
Great video. So educational. I'm trying to repair a jazz pickup that has 3 wires and a copper foil tape soldered around outside. There "were" three areas on the pickup where the coil wires were protruding to the eyelets. they are all broken off. I'm thinking this was a "coil taped" pickup. Is it possible there was a first round of wire, then wrapped to an eyelet then another winding over that and wrapped to another eyelet ? And the original starting wire has its own eyelet. It may be impossible to retrieve enough wire from the first winding to get around an eyelet again but is this a repair worth attempting? These are vintage quarter pounders from early 80s probably. Thanks for any guidance.
Hi, pickup's tonal characteristics is a mixture of many variables. Difference in magnets, coils types, amount of turns, design, and so on... Every change affects the tone. Our pickups are not designed to recreate an original fender jazz bass tone. Rather, we aim to produce a more balanced pickup with extra Mids - frequencies that are often lacking from Jass basses.
@@coilsboutiquepickups Oh okay Thanks man. Honestly I'm new to all this guitar building stuff so😅. I've read a number of articles and watched a lot of videos on guitars and have come to realize a lot of things are actually up to the builder's discretion lol. Shalom and God be with y'all!!
Is there something I could damage buy pulling the cover off a jazz bass pickups to change to covers without holes? These are seymore Duncan Apollo pickups.
@@coilsboutiquepickups thanks brother. Are pickup size is same when put in the neck and bridge. Sorry about beinhg To much to ask. I wanna buid my own and try to find that informations..
@@BIJIKOPI1 we usually make the neck pickups with lower resistance than the bridge. Go to Coilsboutique.com and look at our models. All specs are there.
Yeah we totally should have put a demo at the end of the video... Here is a demo of the same model though - www.coilsboutique.com/pickups/jazzbass/funky-town/
