Kinda odd. Personally I prefer the split type of p-bass pups. Maybe people are digging the single coil sound. My partner in crime, the guy who does mostly Les Paul style instraments did mention a guy here in Aus that does hand wound pups, but I think they are spendy.

I have some 2mm metal grommets ontheir way. I'm hoping for a neater result for joining and anchoring the leads to the coil. Even though I won't be using the two pups I have wound so far, I can use the second one to try this idea out.
