FAt Bottom Humbucker - $110 Each
The ‘Fat Bottom’ humbucker is true to it’s name. The highs and mids are tight with a fat low end. The look is up to you. They come in 2 cap design, 4 frame choices and 3 pole piece colors. The neck and bridge are wound to compliment each other if installed in a matched set. These come in two wind choices - The ‘Fat Bottom - 1959’ and coming soon the ‘Fat Bottom - 1975’.
The Fat Bottom- 1959 is based on a great sounding ‘59 LP that I had the opportunity to play. The Bridge was clear and almost twangy sounding over modern LPs. The neck was very tight on the lows yet still has plenty of definition and not as much of the low frequencies that are typical of humbuckers.
They are low output but don’t let that fool you into thinking they won’t break up nice with a tube amp to create a great natural sounding overdrive. Neck 7.6 K, Bridge 8.9 K. Wax potted unless requested otherwise. 49.2 mm or 52mm ‘F’ pole spacing. Leave a note in the comments when checking out or email me if you need something special.
Coming soon The Fat Bottom- 1975 is based on an amazing vintage Ibanez Artist guitar. Similar to the 1959, but with higher output and more tame highs.
I offer this pickup with your choice of frame, cap design and pole piece.
Frames come in Black, Nickel, un-plated Nickel or Gold.
Cap choices are ‘Radio’, ‘Classic’ or ‘Radio Deluxe’ design in wood or black fibre and Gold or Black screen material. If you need something custom please email me so we can work out the details.
Pole piece colors offered are Nickel, Black and Gold. Also available are black oxide hex screws instead of the usual fillister screws (this changes the pickup response slightly).
Vintage push back wire or 4 conductor hook up wire per your spec - but they come with 4-conduct stock using the same color code as Seymour Duncan Humbuckers.
