Topic: new guitar pickup with bass poles

My friend Andy Alt is doing a Kickstarter on a new pickup design.
Basically it's humbucker sized, but one of the coils only has two poles, for the low E and A strings only. The humbucker pickup ring has on/off switch to convert the frequencies digitally to bass (octave converter), and another switch for E/A string or just lowest note. It's like having an octave pedal for only the two lowest strings. Battery lasts 6 hours, and a mini USB plug on the pickup ring recharges it.

It's VERY cool, the video shows exactly what it can do! Check it out.
