That makes sense, thanks for sharing.  I think I'll do some experimenting in the new year.

I wonder how close a P90 style magnet arrangement without the laminations could get to the sound of the originals?  I guess that a solid keeper would lose some highs from eddy currents, and leaving the keeper out would change the inductance, so wouldn't have its peak at the same frequency?  I'm trying to figure out if tore00s ferrites are an attempt to get some iron in there to get the inductance similar to the Bisonics/Darkstars, without losing highs through eddy currents.  I can't see where they are from the pictures, so I, guessing they're in the centre of the coil perhaps. 
I have very limited tooling, so I'm not going to try copying anything too closely - if I can get it somewhere in the ballpark I'll be happy.

Hi, this is my first post here! 
Those are interesting looking pickups, tore00.  It's great to see something outside of the standard Fender-ish designs.  I'm curious about the Ferrite beads you used to do the job the laminations did in the original.  Are they the cylindrical type with the holes through them that usually get used for RF suppression, and do your poles pass through them?  I take it the logic in using them was to get some ferrous material in there to alter the inductance without using a solid, conductive lump of steel?  I may try something similar if I can gather up the materials.
