Big Al single-coils: phantom humbucker?

[Rick Auricchio]

Do the single-coil pickups in the Big Al have humbucking coils?

Yes, each pickup is a stacked humbucker: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/mus...ummy-pickup-under-pickguard-2.html#post614242

No wonder it sounds so punchy.

I was wondering too how they made it silent, there was no mention of a silent circuit or a dummy coil anywhere.

Thanks. I couldn't search for this, because the words "big" and "al" or even "big al" are rejected by the search function as being too short!
