Pickup question

[davidwpack]

Ello. If anyone here has wound their own pickups, have you wound them in such a way that you could access the poles individually? For example, when i try to set eq I get the treble strings to sound good the bass strings sound muddy. Then I get the bass strings to sound defined the treble strings sound ear-piercing. If I had a setting that the treble poles we're accessed on the neck pick up and the bass poles we're accessed on the bridge pickup I would never require any other pickup selection. I wouldn't even need a switch. I feel like this a stupid question and that the only way to do that is to wind my own pickups with only 3 poles of each wired up. I just thought someone may have done something like this or know someone that makes custom pickups like that. Anyone? Thanks...Dave

Also, I've always had this situation with any guitar with any amp. O.C.D. maybe?

I battle with that occasionally. The tones I go for need plenty of attack for all notes. I don't like flubby bass. And I find I'll lose attack (due to compression) in the low end way before the top goes. So I run my amp quite bright and use the tone control on my guitar.


However, once upon a time you could get multi-output pickups from a guy names Ripley. I think Allan Holdsworth tried them at one point in his quest for weirdness (which led him instead to the SynthAxe).

Hey. Thanks for the info!

Anyone here wind pickups and want to make a few bucks? I'd only need 3 poles of each pickup wound with one output of each pickup (P-90).( EAD poles of bridge pickup and GBE of neck pickup.
