They have some more interesting concepts. Their own Enfield basses feature pickups much like those found on Wal basses, which have an individual coil for each polepiece. On the Enfield Cannon, there's a Super 8 pickup which is a huge humbucker with 8 coils for 4 rows of polepieces. I guess those quadcoils are based on that, as if they cut it in half.

Not just the pickup was inspired by Wal, the bass itself is like a copy of a Mk 3.

I just sent an email over to them asking some questions about the retro fit Quad Coil P/U. Most importantly, can they be fitted to a lefty bass and still have the proper coils activated when switching through the options. I tried to figure it out on my own but I've only had one coffee today and it's a bit of a mind bender. Ha. :?

I'll let y'all know what he says.
