This is the 3rd 8 Coil pickup we have developed & differs in it's internal construction from both our other 2 8 Coil units. This 3rd version of our 8 Coil has an individual humbucker for each string & is wired to allow all 4 humbucking coil pairs to be connected through a coil balancing dedicated pre-amp. 

Because of the parallel wiring, a pre-amp is required to stop the coils loading each other, to keep the individual Coil pairs sound characteristics intact & separate from each other. This also minimises cross talk & intermodulation & is a great choice for studio recording . This pickup can be used effectively only with a 4 X input pre-amp such as the N.F.P Special or for 2x pickups the Double N.F.P Special   available from Lusithand or other 4 + wire input type pre-amps for parallel wired pickups. The 1 Humbucker per string 8 Coil pickup will give diminished volume if used passively. Basically it must be used with a pre-amp. Only a single output is available with this 1HBPS 8 coil type = All 8 coils together.

Wound to between 16-20 K Ohms D.C & has been designed to fit a standard 4 string MM / OLP bass guitar with a minimum cavity depth of 25 mm.

* standard MM / OLP basses may require a re-routing of the pickup cavity to accept this 8coil pickup. Please ask for more information.
