Zhangliqun	Minihumbucker parts and magnets Got word from another winder that Allparts is now selling minihumbucker parts. Anyone else know about this? If so, are their covers no-hole (think Firebird) or 6-hole (LP Deluxe)?     Also, where do you get the right size magnets for these, and are they typically ceramic or Alnico?

Hummer	You could call them and ask, and then tell us, saving our phone bill

Book Of The Day

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self. Note: The Ampage Archive is an Amazon Associate site. A small commission is paid to the site owner on any qualified purchase made after clicking an associate link such as the one above.

Zhangliqun	I have e-mailed them already and am waiting for a reply.     But I'm sure someone here must know what type of magnets they typically use.

SK	Generally Alnico, but I don't recall if they are smaller or not...Seems like they were.

Mystic	Firebird HB's have two magnets in them. One for each coil. They do not use pole pieces instead the magnet is placed in the coil much like blade type pickups. The whole thing is held together with the cover. The parts are probably mini hb's like are used in Les Paul Deluxes. These are made just like the regular sized Hb's only smaller.
