I recently installed one of our
hexaphonic pickup systems into a a guitar for Matt Shaw, who is one half of
Bobby and Jemima.

Bobby and Jemima... AKA Charlese and Matt (not sure who is who!) |
Matt provides a large chunk of the music for the act, playing guitar and drums - often at the same time - and he wanted to be able to send bass runs on the lower strings to a bass amp whilst simultaneously playing the melody and lead from the top strings out through a guitar amp. No problem at all!
I fitted a hexapup to the bridge position, wired out to a pair of output jacks, and an additional toggle switch gave the option of sending the G-string to either the bass or treble output. And we put one of our new P90 pickups in the neck position, with its own output for a third amplifier. Now Matt can make a lot of noise with one guitar!
Many thanks to Karen Duckworth who hung out with us for the afternoon and took these marvellous photos.

All done! |
