The Sinner is one crazy single coil pickup. Tim doesn’t offer any single coil sized humbuckers due to him saying they compromise tone. While I disagree with that, his take on what a heavy metal single coil should be is pretty insane. This thing has gobs and gobs of power. In fact, it doesn’t really sound like a normal single coil. The lows on this thing are absolutely brutal and crushing. The midrange is pushed back a bit to allow for the lows and high end to help make the pickup sound big. The treble is fairly even sounding with maybe being pushed back just a touch.
When I ran this in the neck of my guitar, it delivered a wonderful singing lead tone. If you’re one for smooth lead tones, this is the pickup you want to get. Despite being a crazy hot overwound pickup, it was still very clear and open sounding. When you rolled back the volume and turned on the clean channel, it delivered a pretty nice clean, too. One thing I will say is that, because this is a normal single coil, it will hum. You’re going to have to live with that as Tim doesn’t offer single coil sized humbuckers. He will, however, rewind one if you give it to him.
If you’re looking for the most brutal single coil on the market, this is the pickup you want to get. It’s crazy powerful, and it can pretty much crush any normal humbucker on the market. To top it off, it still remains clear sounding under high gain.

I wanted a humbucker but luthiers with whom I have brought my guitar to work on it only worked with Bare Knuckle, which make no single humbucker format. They directed me to this microwave a friend to them (a seller of a well known music store in Brussels) resold, and like a fool and confidence, I bought it.
So I do not know if the guy I passed on another model of micro-or is it the right, but still it is that this microphone does not match what I expected and described by English is the manufacturer: This microphone is supposed to have a high level...…

So I do not know if the guy I passed on another model of micro-or is it the right, but still it is that this microphone does not match what I expected and described by English is the manufacturer: This microphone is supposed to have a high level of output and produce no unwanted noise while retaining the characteristic sound of single coils ...
Well yes, of course, it keeps the identity of a single coil, the output level is slightly higher than a traditional and it blows a little less, but nothing really amazing!
I did place it in this neck on a Start with a Seymour Duncan Japan SL59 in bridge and it's a little better, unless he produces a bit too low for my taste and lacks teeth, So I'm still not satisfied with the result.
Moral: beware when you buy a Micro OCCAZ because if there is no distinguishing mark on the mic, you can not be assured that this is the right and you may be having This is probably my case!

I love this baby!
Published on 09/17/10 at 05:54 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I tried everything that was done on single coil bridge couillu (seymour, Lollar, DiMarzio ...).
And bein this little gem made me hallucinate!
Found (on my guitar case in tt) sound very vintage / medium between the old strata, the guts of large pickups telecaster brown sugar, and something of a p90 or a little bam vieu demagnetized.
I have a double handle, and combinations are very interesting with the sinner, was bold, both medium and twang (I have a switch that allows to set neck and bridge without touching the middle coil).
sinner ... it sounds almost a chouille Gretch / strat / tele.
Try it on another guitar though. …
