Code Breaker 5

Are you looking for the ultimate in sonic definition, power, and flexibility?  With the Code-Breaker, there are 2 coils for each string, 1 coil for each pole.  Individual coils means that the turn count per string is high while the induction is low, so clarity is increased while retaining a strong output.  This also means that the wiring/tonal options are huge!  The standard 3 ways are:

1. 4 Individual Humbuckers.  This is how Wal Bass configures their pickups.  The pair of coils for each string form a humbucking pair.  This arrangement makes it so that every string has its own humbucker, which increases string-to-string definition.  However, if each pair is being run in parallel, the output will be low, and a pre-amp made for this type of pickup should be used (Luthisand Devices makes an excellent pre-amp).  This will have an 8-wire hookup.
2. 2 Single J's.  This wires the coils together so that each row is like a J style humbucking pickup, similar to a 2 coil setup except that each row is humbucking.  The neck coils form 1 set, while the bridge coils form the other.  The 4 wire hookup will allow you to run each set in parallel (standard) for clarity, series for more beef, or either row on its own.  Anyway you wire it, its humbucking.
3. 2 Single P's.  This arrangement lets you run a P, reverse P, both P's in series, or both P's in parallel.  Plus, any way you run it, you'll be humbucking.
   

The wide magnets capture more of the sonic details coming from your strings, while the clearly voiced core adds power and definition to your sound.
