Quacky Duckbucker pickups

[Charlie R57]

There has been talk about these freaks of
Electronics. So I went on a search for myself
EDR And 60 BURST said they got a Duckbucker,
so I tried to duplicate one, Steps are below.
1. Flip a magnet in your P/U "I chose the neck "

2. Put Selector switch in Middle position.

3. Enjoy new Duckbucker sound !!

I really did'nt notice much of a change when
only 1 or the other P/U was selected, But
with both selected, Im in Duckbucker Heaven.
:smokin :wail: :halo

Ain't that the 'Peter Green Mod'?

 

[Ed Rafalko]

My magnet was definitely NOt flipped- I marked the ends before I did anything else. And I wzs using tghe bridge pickup only, no middle switch position for me thank.

 

[Charlie R57]

And if you had said it was only one P/U that
gave the DuckBucker tone, I would'nt have
gone to this trouble. :bonk
Snags, Yes it is. And I dont think I'd want
that sound ALL the time, but it was fun
Messing around with.

Ed,
I agree with Charlie

[Snags]

Ed
something was flipped
did you put banjo strings ?:edr

 

[Ed Rafalko]

Unless the polarity of the 57 Classic is the reverse of that of the Seth, the magnet WAS NOT FLIPPED.
So there.

I do wonder why our experience was so different? Everyone seems to like this mod. Did anyone else mention having the results Ed and I got? :60burst

 

[Ed Rafalko]

Looks like we're going to have to try it again, Bill. This time I'll try and find an antiquity to do it with too.

I have a reverse wound P90 - obviously single coil - but if I connect it normally it's out of phase and sounds quacky in the centre pos. Both pickups are normal played separately. It's fun for a while but.......
