Can someone explain the dummy coil on Series basses?
« on: January 30, 2008, 07:32:54 PM »
I have seen dummy coils before, like the MM Sterling has one under its MM pickup, but I dont really know what it is for, or what it can do to the tone.  Can anyone explain this?

There's a nice post here in the Must Reads section on the subject of pickups.  I think you might find it helpful.
