Thank you for the warm words of you and many.

After all, I thought that I wanted you to hear the sound of my pickup bobbin which I made also from the meaning which returns the feeling of the gratitude to you.

For this reason, I edited a music movie at the first time after I was born.
Here is a tune is my original composition, all instruments performance and recording.
This time, part of Bass track(s) was re-recorded and remix did it again. Of course, I played my Ric RM1999 Reissue Bass installed an original Horseshoe pickup with that bobbin which I made.
Please use your good headphones or loud speakers for your reference and control the E.Q. if you need.



Since I was unfamiliar for creation of music movie, the completeness of sound and image quality is low, but please enjoy! :)

I have found a useful online program called "PICKUP COIL ESTIMATOR".
For your reference: http://www.salvarsan.org/pickups/Coil_Estimator.html
It will calculate automatically, if the dimension of a bobbin(core) and the details of a wire are inputted.

My bobbin size(core) is,
Length: 2.244"
Width: 0.1969"
Height: 0.25"
Flange: 1"

Gorgeous tone and great playing Koji.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
