doesnt the wire running through your fingers like burn??

[willramirez75]

nope

[ribbob]

great very good hope you dont mind i am

going to buy a multimeter to check my

pick up it has a black and white leads

do i put red lead off the multimeter to the

white lead and black to black and what

setting do i need on the mutimeter

[willramirez75]

doesn't matter, pickups have no polarity.

Where can I get the proper instructions on how to do this?

And if they exist, would they work for standard 6-string guitars as well?

I'd love to put on of these things in my strat.

pretty much the only thing I don't do in the video is cut, drill and assemble the bobbin. this is the same procedure for any stacked pickup (guitar, bass or whatever electric stringed instrument).

im new but what do pick ups do exacly????

[nangyala]

What will happen if I use 45 gauge wire in a pick up and wind it up to the same resistance as let's say 43 gauge,

I know I will have less output, but do you know what is does to the sound?

si los pones en agua no se oxida? minuto .. es agua?

[utookmynames]

im a little confused, what you made was a humbucker with 1 row of magnets? is the bottom coil dead? its a jazz bass im assuming, so you could get a single coil sound without a hum?

[MrJoypad570]

What is the stuff you dipped them into?

[outofslumber]

Its not clear about the bobbins and the wire. Are they wired in one continous coil somehow. As in the wire doesnt get cut but is threaded through to the second coil. Also if they are wound as seperate coils is direction a key issue?

Thanks for vid!

[educate1self]

Ive been trying to find any videos showing the transition with the wire from the 2 boobins. I dont see it here either. Is there some sort of notch or something the wire sits in when its going to be moved to the next bobbin. Also on a 6 string guitar with a stacked pickup I was under the impression you could tap the coil(s), but am I right in thinking you can only tap a coil that has 2 distictly seperate coils. i.e 2 start and 2 finish wires?

[Ridin24z]

What gauge of wire are you using?

[rskid23]

@willramirez75 first of all pickups have to have polarity to be magnetized

and second of all you can use a multimeter to check if your leads have good connections to the pickup
