My new HB pickups
« on: May 23, 2008, 08:56:05 PM »
2 single coil pickups in a standard HB mount arrived today
Planning on putting a single pickup at the neck
Probably put it in the Acoustic F hole bass
Really nicely made pickups and the magnets are interchangeable,he includes Alnico II , III and V and Ceramic magnets

Thanks

those are nice looking. Do you mind telling us what they cost? Do they come with mounting rings?  they look like Les Paul guitar-sized.

So they are HB pups wound to bass specs.  Very interesting.  I like the ones with the screws and black top.  They might look nice on the Guild.  Gotta think about that!

The 2 that I got are single coil
I think single coils sound better than humbuckers, especially at the neck
But the do fit the standard HB routing
With the Charlie Christian blade pickup he includes a pickup surround

Thanks

Very chic.
