Complete Bobbins
These flanges were made with .030″ Garolite. Garolite is strong but is hard to cut and seems to chip easily. I’m going to use FR4 instead.

Polyurethane Keeper Pulled From the Mold
A polyurethane keeper I pulled from the mold. I still need to cut the flashing and sand the edge flat. Those little neodymium magnets are very strong and unruly. I designed this little cast keeper bar to keep them in place. #funktronicpickups #winding #handwoundpickups #basspickups #madscientist #neodymiummagnets #guitarpickups

Late Night with the Funktronic Coil Genie
Aluminum Casting Original for Neo Sidewinder
This is an aluminum piece I use as an original from which to cast a little keeper bar from polyurethane resin. The keeper bar holds eight neodymium magnets and makes the core of a bass pickup I’ve been working on. BTW, I carved this little guy by hand using a hacksaw, drill press and a flat bastard mill file. #madscientist #guitarpickups #basspickups #handwoundpickups #winding #funktronicpickups

Here’s My Sidewinder Bass Pickup Coils
Here’s my sidewinder bass pickup coils. I have it loaded with a pair of ceramic magnets and wound to about 4.27K of 41AWG wire. Sounds really fat. #basspickups #guitarpickups #winding #madscientist #handwoundpickups #handwoundcoils #funktronicpickups
