What type of pickup is this?
« on: May 07, 2009, 11:26:13 AM »
Hey

Can any of you see what type of pickup the guitar player has in neck position? I'm very newbie on electric guitars and gear. Anyway, it looks like a Telecaster, with a different neck pickup. From the size of it, it looks like it's a soapbar type of pickup, that is, a p-90? There are no screws to reveal it. You see the pickup closeup at 0:51. Wikipedia says he runs it through a Fender Bassman through a PA speaker, but I haven't been able to figure out what guitar/pickups he use.

EDIT: I assume it's the same equipment nomeansno used on the "Wrong" album

Forgot to say that I'm not asking for specific brand or anything, just to know whether it might be a p-90-type, humbucker etc.

Looks like a covered humbucker with no holes for the screws to poke through to me.
