A faithful replica of the Gibson lo-z bass humbucker

I checked with moderator Ped if posting this is okay.
Thank you Chris for the green light.

 

The Best sounding bass pickup of all time is the Gibson low impedance stacked humbucker that was used in the Les Paul Bass between 1968 and 1979.

At least in my opinion. 😉
I really think they're amazing.
Extremely silent. Magnificent dynamic response. Tight low end. Chrystal clear top end. And very versatile.

For years I roamed Ebay and Reverb to score them to put in various bass guitars. But last few years they've become as rare as hen's teeth. And when you finally do find one the prices are astronomically high.

Many times I tried to find a pickup maker who can replicate it. And many of them said they could. But in the end they all had to admit they couldn't.

Until recently!
I joined forces with Mike Rose from Gemini Pickups in Wales.
I sacrificed an original and carefully dissected it.
The pickup revealed its very unusual architecture. And step by step we reverse engineered it.
The Brooks Gemini was born!

 

 

I installed the Brooks Gemini into my Epiphone Jack Casady Signature bass. The bass previously sported an original Gibson lo-z humbucker.

 

 

 

Here's the video demo of the Brooks Gemini bass pickup: a faithful replica of the low-impedance stacked humbucker that Gibson used in their Les Paul Bass between 1968 - 1979.

 

Bass played by Dutch rock royalty Ivo Severijns.

Straight into the desk. No compressor, No amp, No speaker, No speaker simulator. Just an honest registration of the sound of the pickup.

What you see is what you get!

Enjoy!
