Description

Edit description

I wanted to make hum-cancelling versions of my replacement Ric® Pickups and after working on many designs I just found the final sound was moving too far away from what makes Rickenbacker® guitars unique. So I simply went back to the drawing board and designed these, a dual hidden Alnico blade design based on each of my Ric® Single Coil rang.

Essentially a hum-cancelling version of my Low '57 - slightly fatter, crunchier than its single coil equivalent but still with that classic bright jangle.

With my replacement Ric® style hum-cancelling pickups, the coils are asymmetrically wound which helps more dynamics with a richer clarity & string definition. A rich, clear, hum-cancelling version of my Low '57.

Gets rid of the hum but retains the toaster sound.

The folks at The Creamery claim that this pickup is a bit fatter sounding than the toasters from 1957. I ain't sure about the 1957 era toasters but compared to current generation of toasters they sound nothing different. The only difference I could hear between them and the current generation toaster pickups is that they don't hum. That may sound like a minuscule difference and to be honest if you use your Rickenbacker guitar for clean or cleanish low gain applications then switching to them won't make a big difference for you.

However, for me they make a big difference. Since they don't hum I'm able to use them for comparatively higher gain applications than what Rickenbacker guitars are generally used for. I know Rickenbacker makes their own humbucker too, but they don't sound like the toaster pickups. These humbucking toasters on the other hand sound just like toasters but without the hum. These pickups open up new horizons for Rickenbacker guitars without sacrificing the qualities that make a Rickenbacker guitar unique.
