Anybody know anything about these? It looks kinda like a "humbucker-and-a-half."  In one review of the Alvarez Dana II on Harmony Central, the reviewer said he didn't know which coils of that pickup were used in which of the five selector switch positions, "and I won’t bother to disassemble it to find out, because I just like the sound and that’s that." Well, alrighty, then.  EDIT: Forgot to mention that many of the Google "finds" that mention it are so long-gone, they're not even cached. |

Hey, don't hold back, just tell 'em what you think.  Which reminds me: the Fundamentalist Heavy-Metal band Could It Be... Satan? today announced the hiring of a new keyboard player.  |

And from the back (large pic):  I kinda wish they hadn't buried it behind the Floyd Rose®, but it still fascinates me. Somebody suggested that if wired right, that could be like an SC and a humbucker, but with the middle SC a lot closer to the HB than usual. (Maybe even like three SCs, yathink?  |

Doug,
what are the magnetic polarities of the single, and each of the 3 coils in the triple?

Were they not called "Tribuckers?"

Were they not called "Tribuckers?" Not that I've seen anywhere. I think I've seen one being called a "Motherbucker," but that name is really for a Kent Armstrong four-blade pup. (Dunno if MightyMite still makes a pickup by that name, or not.) |
