Bass Flatpup

another experiment: the Flatpup Humbucker for a bass. LIt's only 1/5" thin. It's covered by thin acrylic glass. The glue traces don't look nice.. but hey.. www.original-flatpup.comLet's look for a test pilot...

thanks! I use 0.07mm wire instead of 0.063mm and wound it to 2.2k. The mags are neodyns, 7 in a row and 4 put on top (below the strings). Compared to a Flatpup 6 for guitars, the sound was less crispy. My suspect: the 7 magnets are too close to each other. Or maybe I didn't criss-cross enough when winding.
