Gibson Mini Humbucker R Chrome

36

Pickup

Originally, the mini humbuckers were only found on the Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. The narrower magnetic field produces a clear and compact sound compared to normal humbuckers. In the 1970s, these pickups were often replaced by stronger (and often significantly lower) pickups - today, where gain and sustain are no longer a big issue thanks to the modern amps and pedals, you can appreciate the great sound of these pickups.

The model for the neck position has a little less output and sounds wonderfully bell-like - ideal for the big band of guitarists, where a normal humbucker at the neck always sounds messy.

  • Small size
  • Limited magnetic field - a clear and focused sound

Great mini hb
Kevin765 11.05.2014
I bought this pickup 4 years ago and it hasn't left my telecaster (my main guitar) since. Needs to be wired with 500k pots to sound right. I was inspired by Scotty Anderson & Brent Mason to put this in my tele. I have tried every neck pickup, including Lollars and Joe Bardens, this is my favourite. I have an original 60s Epiphone mini hb in my backup guitar. The two pickups seems comparable & I have no urge to put the vintage one in my main guitar. These seem quite expensive. I would happily try a seymour duncan though, if I got a 3rd mini hb equipped telecaster... this is not going to happen.

excellent

J'ai acheté ce micro pour remplacer le mini HB de ma Nighthawk qui est HS.
Au premier contact, j'ai été surpris car il possède moins de fil que celui d'origine.
Ensuite j'ai eu un gros doute sur le fonctionnement ( perte du push/pull, qualité du son...) et je l'ai quand même branché.
Quelle très bonne surprise aux premiers test ! Ce micro me donne le son que je cherchais depuis longtemps sans avoir a bidouiller mon ampli.
Le son est cristallin sur le canal clair et des qu'on passe en OD ça envoie du lourd (toutes proportions gardées : ça reste un MINI HB.).
Pour conclure, la perte du push/pull m'importe peu étant donné que je gagne largement en qualité de son. C'est un excellent micro, simple en fabrication mais terriblement efficace.
Merci de m'avoir lu.

Schöner Humbucker

schöne Cleansounds, nicht zu dunkel, verträgt Zerre und Fuzz gut und harmoniert super mit meinem Tele-PU in der Bridge-Position! Hat die selben Ausmaße wie ein normaler P90.
