@ThePrettyDamned cheers bud, The best part for me in all honesty is the comments you guys have said, as it shows this last week has not been a waste of time!

Can you describe the scatter pattern a bit more, Ash? For example, does the scatter traverse the whole width each time, or is it more a case of filling in bits as you go?
Here's mine...

Took reference photos like these of both pickups before I did the magnet swap and removed the out of phase setup on the Lemon Drop. The top one shows that the north pole of the magnet is towards the bridge, and the second confirms that the south pole is away from the bridge. When moving the compass between the two positions, the needle flipped round.

Ah asking a pickup winder about his scatter pattern is like asking him what his technique is in bed!

Well, I wasn't looking for (or expecting) trade secrets. Just trying to home in on what scatter winding actually means beyond it not being having each turn neatly placed next to the previous one, rinse and repeat, layer by layer. Your hint, and suck-it-and-see, is close enough for me.

Come to make the 2nd and no sound.. Ok I thought maybe a break in the wire, attempt 3 again same procedure as the first which was successful and again nothing, im not getting anything from the multi meter either, does anyone know what I'm missing? Magnets are all pointing the same way, wire is being wound clockwise and the beginning and end soldered to the output wire and bugger all.
I'm so pissed off its untrue can anyone please shed some light before it all goes in the bin??
