Brooks - Gemini
LOW IMPEDANCE HUMBUCKER FOR BASS
|
The Best sounding bass pickup of all time is the Gibson low impedance stacked humbucker that was used in the Les Paul Bass between 1968 and 1979.
At least in my opinion. ;-) I really think they're amazing. Extremely silent. Magnificent dynamic response. Tight low end. Chrystal clear top end. And very versatile. For years I roamed Ebay and Reverb to score them to put in various bass guitars. But last few years they've become as rare as hen's teeth. And when you finally do find one the prices are astronomically high. |
Many times I tried to find a pickup maker who can replicate it. And many of them said they could. But in the end they all had to admit they couldn't.
Until recently! Gemini Pickups from the UK joined forces with Brooks. I sacrificed an original and carefully dissected it. The pickup revealed its very unusual architecture. And step by step we reverse engineered it. We are now in the testing phase with the first prototypes. More news coming soon! Stay tuned... |
