| I'm just curious on what is the most popular pickup on Zum Hybrids, especially a SD 10. How do you like the stock single coil? What do guys like Randy Beavers use? I really like his sound. I'm not a fan of really bright pickups and I don't want to start the "is it the guitar or the hands argument". Just want to know what hybrid owners like. |

Danny I have switched to alumitones on my standard Zum and it's very impressive, but my Hybrid has Trutones and is so good I have no intention of messing with it!

Why not go with a coil-tapped pickup so that you will have a wider range of tonal options at your beck and call.
Jason Lollar has a great reputation for making great pickups and I have heard enough of his pickups to concur with this reputation. He seems to know just where to put the taps on the coils to give useful tonal options.

Lollar winds Steel pickups now?
You guys who have installed Alumitones in a Zum- where did you get the baseplate? And any problems? Feel free to email me directly if you don't want to sidetrack Danny's thread, thanks. |

| Bruce Bouton has an Alumitone for his Zum, but may not have it installed yet. Check with Tommy Dodd for the pickup and the base plate. |

I installed 18,500k Tonealigners in Jr. Martin's Zum original. It rounded out the upper mids beautifully. Have not heard it on a hybrid though. Worth a listen....
