Multicoil

The "multicoil" term can technically apply to any pickup that contains more than one coil. However, the term is typically reserved for pickups where one or more individual coils are used to sense the movement of a single string. 


Turner Pickups' multicoils are configured with 2 coils per string. The high turn count, relative to the small size of the coils, allows for a good mix of high output and high resonant frequency. The resulting tone is punchy, rich in mids, while retaining excellent clarity.

Multicoil w/ Pickup Ring

These have the same internals as our other multicoil pickups, but these come with a functional and decorative pickup ring. This ring serves as the method by which the pickup is mounted, and allows for overall height adjustment.


These are also available for 5 string basses w/ 18mm string spacing.

Gordo Solo

The Gordo Solo pickup is our take on a cross between a Darkstar and a Rickenbacker 4001/3 bridge pickup.  This is just about the biggest single coil you'll come across...  it's a wide, short coil that produces a dynamic tone.  From a clear, bell-like tone when played softly, to an aggressive grind when digging in.


If you're looking for a unique single coil pickup, this one's for you.

NOTE

For my pickups that have the separate outputs (1 output per pair of coils under a string), I would highly recommend using either a Lusithand Single/Double NFP Special preamp, or an Underhill Multicoil preamp, if you're looking to fully take advantage of this wiring scheme.
