Burstbucker 2's SImple Question

[TehLesPaulZorz]

I'm planning on a BB 2 and 3 combo, and as far as I see, there's only one Burstbucker 2 flavor. Do they come in seperate neck and bridge positions? or is it only one?

Maybe this link will give you all the info you need on BB's.

From the description I have on BB2/BB3; (relative output refers to scale of 1-10)

 

BB2: Alnico II (Relative output= 6.75), historically accurate PAF, with airy tone and

unbalanced coils. 8.4Kohm

 

BB3: Alnico II (relative o/p = 7.75) historically accurate PAF, slightly overwound

airy tone with unbalanced coils 8.8K ohm.

BB2: Alnico II 8.4Kohm

BB3: Alnico II 8.8K ohm.

 

Those numbers seem a bit high?

 

According to my notes the BB2 is approx. 8.0-8.1 and the BB3 is approx. 8.2-8.4

(Approximates because the BBs are scatterwound and will vary in resistance)

 

BB2s are one flavour only. You want to match with either a BB1 or BB3, or not...

Worth considering BB Pro too, also available in different bridge and neck outputs. Alnico V instead of Alnico II. The Pros I have seem slightly warmer.

 

Check the Gibson site, pickups I think are under "accessories"?

The output is similar to BB1 for the neck and BB2 for the bridge-humbucker.
