It also has much longer magnets
I dont think so 8)
If you look at soniques pics, the bridge slugs pertrude less than on neck pup.
Me thinks this is only due to deeper bobbin on bridge pup.

Mind still blown over lower k on "fat" bridge pup though :freako:
Good to know
Absolutely correct, I meant to say "coils". I had a set of these pickups, so I got to compare them directly.

By winding around a higher percentage of the magnets, the pickup fits in more turns of the fat wire and inductance is increased.

Sorry for the typo.
