Rick's Site - Neodymium Pickups

As well as various Magnet Assemblies that I have created ... produce a uniform magnetic field ... bathing the strings and coil ... in tone generating "juice".

The flux density of various vintage "Around the String" units ... aka String Through Pickups ... vary greatly depending on where in the unit you are measuring.

Because of the unique construction of my magnets ... the flux density is constant in any plane that runs parallel to the strings.

So the first string "sees" the exact same flux density ... as does the 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th or 12th string.

The uniform, ultra-high magnetic fields found in my magnet assemblies are produced by exploiting the incredible magnetic properties of Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NIB).

Contrary to "logical thinking" ... the strength of the field vs the strength produced by the number of windings in a bobbin is VASTLY different in the production of the signal ... i.e clean vs dirty (distorted).

As you increase the magnetic flux density ... the signal gets richer (overtones more pronounced) and clearer (greater signal to noise ratio).
