This is a WAY cool new design I came up with. It has some of the design characteristics and tone of a Charlie Christian guitar pickup. Like a Charlie Christian, I use a heavier than standard gauge wire (38awg). This creates a much fatter coil, as you can see in the pictures, with a much lower resistance. I also am using P-90 style bar magnets rather than a standard Rod magnet. These 2 features create a VERY FAT tone that over drives well, and creates very nice growl. But most importantly using the heavier gauge wire gets you all this without the extra midranges that most other over wound pickups give. NOTE: This pickup is much taller than the stock P Bass pickup, but this requires NO mods and will fit in a stock P Bass route.
