We are always trying to get you geetar people – yes that means you as well lurking there over in the dark corner – to try something different and stop being so constrained by convention, pole spacings and all the other Emperors New Clothes gubbins.
Here’s a little video from Stephen Hookings where he’s done just that, climbed out of his box completely and done something ‘weird’. So without out further ado and introduction here’s an example of Warman Warblades being used in a 5 string bass.
Below is the technical data sheet for the Warman 12 Gauge pickup, including wire colour codes.
And the frequency response chart of the 12 Gauge when both coils of the pickup are wired together in series ( standard hum bucking mode )
In his own words……………
Hi all. Im just your simple neighbourhood Jedi Guitar Hero, JGH…but I know what I want out of my guitar. Much like my gauge of strings are different, but I loved the 5/2 Pickup design first time I heard it on Brent Masons guitar. It was that amazing almost Jerry Reed tone. I’m not gonna embarrass Mr W, a fine British gent, very humble, by saying he makes the best 5/2 I’ve played. I’m not gonna talk about amazing customer service, you’re treated more as a friend more than a client. I have to say Warman is my choice for all my passive pickup needs. I have 5/2s in both my Custom rosewood tele a And My relic CS 53. .AMAZING
