Success! The 43 awg wire is perfect for raising the resistance and lowering the resonant peak to about 3kHz. Standard pbass resonant peak is about 2.3kHz. I definitely get a lower thumpy sound. The one I made had a resistance of about 10k.

Tensioning is very important. Something I never really dealt with on 42 awg wire.

Tighter Tension– Higher output – lower resonant peak
Lower Tension– Lower output- brighter resonant peak

Fucked up the neck pickup but it sounded ok when playing but it could be better.
Neck Pickup- Coil resistance differences due to different tensions 5.8k/4.3k = 10.1k resonant peak 3kHz
Bridge Pickup- Coil resistance differences due to different tensions 4.0k/3.1k = 7.1k flat resonant peak about 5kHz.

So basically if I put the correct tension on both coils, I would have had much closer resonant peaks to a pbass. The tension on the first neck coil was so loose that I could move the entire coil winding just by poking it.

Also experimented with lacquer dipping pole pieces before winding. Bought some polymide tape, that cover inner coil and doesn’t take a day to dry.

43 awg I think is the limit I can tension by hand. I broke a few winds. Definitely a skill to use thinner wire. GuitarMD made some videos about tensioning. Something I would probably need If I were to use 44awg. I think 43 awg, gives just enough flexibility. I would try 44awg, but it is about 30 bucks more for 5 lb spool from remington.
