Vintage minibuckers were
known for being quiet and clean-sounding, but they also had a tendency
to “stay in the speaker cabinet” and not offer a great deal of clarity.
Our concept of a vintage minibucker bridge pickup calls for a sound
that jumps out of the speaker when the strings are picked hard, with a
round tone and no mud. If a PAF could fit in a minibucker cover, this
is what it would sound like.
Although this pickup was originally
designed for the bridge position, it's also an excellent neck pickup
for players looking for a warm, jazz tone. It has a well-balanced
overall sound, which allows it to work well in many different guitars
and musical situations, and split mode produces a chimey, Strat-like
sound. It's not quite as loud as a PAF, but it reacts immediately when a
string is picked hard, and it cleans up when the volume is rolled
down. We pot our Minibucker in wax after the cover has been installed
to eliminate microphonic squealing. We've also included 4-conductor
wiring for greater sound options.
