Artist BullBucker Electric Guitar Humbucker Pickup Bridge – Black
The Artist BullBucker Bridge Pickup is a high-output humbucker engineered for guitarists seeking to elevate their instrument’s power, clarity, and sonic aggression. Built around a custom-voiced Alnico V bar magnet, this bridge pickup delivers assertive, full-bodied tones in a classic black open-coil design. Whether you are upgrading a factory guitar or building a custom instrument from scratch, this pickup provides the dynamic punch and high-headroom clarity required for modern stage and studio performance.
From crisp, articulate cleans to soaring lead lines and heavy, saturated rhythm crunch, the BullBucker bridge pickup offers exceptionally defined response across all playing styles. Engineered to maintain definition under heavy overdrive without muddying your core sound, it provides total dynamic control while pairing effortlessly with moderate-output neck pickups.
High-Output Bridge Performance
The BullBucker bridge pickup is carefully calibrated to deliver high-output power with singing highs and aggressive harmonic content. Featuring a 15.4kΩ DC resistance, 9.6H inductance, and standard 52mm pole spacing, it provides rich, full-range output that pushes valve and solid-state amplifiers into natural saturation with ease.
Despite its hot output, the pickup preserves crisp string separation and tight low-end tracking. It performs exceptionally well in mahogany-bodied guitars with rosewood fingerboards, cutting through dense mixes for high-gain rhythm work, punchy rock riffs, and soaring lead solos.
Versatile 4-Conductor Coil-Splitting
Equipped with 4-conductor shielded cable wiring, the BullBucker bridge pickup offers flexible switching possibilities beyond standard series humbucking mode. This versatile lead wire configuration allows for easy integration with push-pull volume/tone pots or mini-toggle switches for authentic single-coil splitting.
By bypassing one of the internal coils, you can instantly convert the humbucker into a bright, biting single-coil pickup. This dual-tone capability gives you access to bell-like clean spank and rhythmic bite alongside full humbucking crunch.
Streamlined Wiring Configuration
The BullBucker bridge pickup uses a standardised 5-wire colour code (4 conductors plus a bare shield ground) for straightforward installation and customisation. Below is the wiring label guide:
Standard Humbucker (Series Wiring)
To wire the pickup as a standard humbucker in series:
• Solder the White and Red wires together and insulate the connection with heat shrink or electrical tape.
• Connect the Thick Black + Yellow wires to ground.
• Connect the Thin Black wire to the Hot Output.
This gives you full humbucker output with maximum power and hum cancellation.
Coil Split - North Coil
To use only the North coil as a single coil:
• Connect the White and Red wires as normal.
• Connect the White/Red junction to Ground when the coil split is activated.
This bypasses the South coil, leaving only the North coil active.
Coil Split - South Coil
To use only the South coil as a single coil:
• Connect the White + Red + Thin Black wires.
• Connect the White/Red/Thin Black junction to the Hot Output when the coil split is activated.
This bypasses the North coil, leaving only the South coil active.
Bridge Pickup Lead Colours:
• Top Coil Polarity: North
• Bottom Coil Polarity: South
• Ground Wire: Thicker Black wire
• South Start: Yellow wire (Inside Screw wire) — Hot Output Wire
• South Finish: Red wire (Outside Screw wire)
• North Finish: White wire (Outside Slug wire)
• North Start: Thinner Black wire (Inside Slug wire)
Wax-Potted Alnico V Construction
Every BullBucker pickup is fully wax-potted to eliminate unwanted microphonic noise, squeal, and mechanical vibration under high gain or stage volumes. This process guarantees quiet, reliable operation whether playing through high-gain tube stacks or direct digital rigs.
The premium Alnico V bar magnet provides high magnetic output, quick transient response, and smooth dynamic compression. Finished in open-coil black bobbins, it delivers an aggressive, modern look that complements a wide variety of guitar finishes.
