Wal bass pickup D.C. resistance (ouput) ?

[ModLad69]

Hello Wal heads,
Can anyone here tell me what the D.C. resistance (output) is on a Wal pickup? Is the output any different between the 4 and 5 string Wal pickup? Your help is much appreciated, mates!
Cheers!

Don't know but Wal pickups have a different construction to regular humbuckers - bit more info here (bottom part of page):

This thread here talks about Wal pickup resistance (starts halfway down first page) and how the muiltiple coil construction makes it difficult to compare them directly with other pickups.

Thanks for this info, ikay. Neither link stated the d.c. resistance (output) of Wal pups though.
Cheers!

They can't be measured the same way a standard pickup is because of their construction (coil per polepiece). As a matter of interest, why do you need this info?

It says this about resistance in the second link - "[color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Each coil has 10,000 turns of 42, and reads about 2.5k. On the model I have here, there are eight coils, with each row of four in series. So each row is 10k." So total DC resistance in this example is 20k. [/size][/font][/color]
