I think it would be a Supro string thru pup. You need a set of Rick Aiello NiBro magnets.

Did you adjust the height of the poles?

Pay no attention to the arrows as it's not my photo.

He does not play just a collector
There should be a law against that.

That pic's probably about 1993 as it is, so it's already close to 30 years old. Ouch!

errr...1993?...thats only 19 years...still old though

I gotta have the 5 on top for any 6th tuning.

Make sure to keep your volume knob wide open when going for the boo-wah effect.

The amp you're playing through will also make a difference. I find the effect is a bit weak with a Fender Blackface t ...

Those legs are much heavier the stock Supros. Look more like Fender.

The tone pot rotates in reverse from the volume pot and when rotated entirely to the no treble position (full clockwise rotation) there is no output to the amp..

Does your pup have two magnets or one (and a wood dummy)?

Thanks for the alert. I just busted it. Guess I'll have to drill it out, now. Wow, those old screws are about as sturdy as dust.

Raise the pole/screw for that string.

Are you sure Denny's is a 6-stringer and not 8?

Does he still play with Two Tons?

You have an 8-string Airline/Jet Airliner. The 8-strings are a little less common, but they made a lot of 6-strings. I've got four in various condidtion.

Swap the thumb screw from another leg and you'll know whether its the threaded hole or the screw.

Try contacting Jason Lollar, from what I understand he makes replacement magnets (though I can't find any info about it on his website).
Jason must have a source for these since they are used in his ...

Sounds more like you need to raise the poles on 3 & 4. These pups are very sensitive to pole height.

The legs on all (three) of mine work fine. Have you tried to find a suitable replacement thumbscrew?

If we're talking about the legs for a Supro Airline, they don't have a clutch, they have a thumb screw.

Does anyone today make something like a Fender direct string pickup that was in the originals?

Which Sam Ash?

P.S. If you teach "BANGO" you might want to learn how to spell it.
