Say you take 3 out from the top bobbin near the neck, and you take the high end side out from the bridge bobbin? Would it sound like an over wound single coil? or a P90 or somthing?

Would the coils still be phased right?

Would it sound like these?
I've never thought about that... Kool question!

Rock On!

Here is what i did

Here is a view of the wave files i recorded so you can fallow the MP3 vissualy.6 poles vs stock MP3

Here is what i did, i took the pickup out and i push the poles out. then i put the guitar all back together and tuned it up. I recorded the 6 poles first because i could just push the poles back in with the guitar all together. This seemed to be the easiest way. I left the guitar plugged in and all the settings the same but with the volume down. I retuned it and then recorded the stock pickup sound.

Can you hear any difference? I seem to see some slight midrange boost with only 6 poles, and i see a little increase in output with it stock. I cant really hear much change.

I would think in theory it would atleast sound more bassy or somthing but i just dont hear much change. Its weird.

I should try dropping some screws in there and compair the poles to screws.

I agree about the midrange boost, it's subtle but it's definitely there, and IMO it's better than the stock sound.

Not much difference. I prefer the second sounds on all clips.
Cheers.

Yes, taking off the magnet poles maybe change the magnet field, but not the fact that the signal of each string runs through both coils.
Unlike the P-Bass design you still have one magnet which covers all strings.

But will there be a difference, if you run the Humbucker in parallel?

Is it easy to just replace the poles with screws? Are they the same dimensions? Or will there be a gap? It is supposed to be a smoother tone with 2 rows of screws.

Hmm... I thought the screws would make a pickup brighter, like the SH-10 is brighter than the SH-1.

I've heard brighter and smoother. Can you just replace the lugs for screws with no problems?

How should i do it? 3 staggered poles and 3 staggered screws or what? Ide like to do it so that there is some noticeable change.

What if i took all the bridge poles out? would it sound like an over wound single? I dont get how this stuff works man.

I read quot;the poles need to be directly over the stringsquot; but when i remove a set from one coil i dont hear a change.

I think we are all NUTS here!

first it was magnet swaps,then one coil from two different pups(hybrid)
now three poles out on each coil!
i wonder what seymour thinks of this stuff??
if it were me i would be going quot;what my stock stuff is not good enough!quot;

My stock stuff isnt good enough, but i just want to learn here what the things do. Maybe by accedent i could find somthing that could make a really cool new tone. Who wouldnt want that?

Im not gona go tweaking on my $80. duncan ya know, and my stock pickup is just sitting on the shelf so why not use it for some testing?

if it were me i would be going quot;what my stock stuff is not good enough!quot; There is a question on the Duncan FAQ that asks for a quick way to get a humbucker to sound more like single coil during a recording session. Seymour says take the screws out.

Didn't the old Fender humbuckers look kind of like this?

You've basically made a full-sized backwards Duckbucker.
Only if he wired it in parallel, which he didn't. And even then, I've never been clear on whether the coild on the Duckbucker and Vintage Rails both extended across all six strings or if there was simply empty space under the blank spots on the bobbin top. And I've never taken mine apart to find out.Originally Posted by ErikHYou've basically made a full-sized backwards Duckbucker.
