Is it possible to wire a Humbucker and a regular Tele Bridge pickup using a 4 way switch ? Im trying to get both series and parallel wiring on the neck pickup, both pickups together and lead single coil Tele.
Yep. I did that with Dimarzio Area Ts and with Wilde L280TN, both stacked humbuckers. No reason PAF style won't work. If there is a pick up cover it needs to be grounded separately. The diagrams ought to make things pretty clear.
although with a Dimarzio Area T (with cover) and then a Wilde L280TN (no cover). Haven't done it with a PAF style bucker, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a 4 wire conductor. You might need to ground the cover.
One other ? Since I'm using both a Humbucker and a Single Coil what ohm pots should be used? I've seen diagrams with both 500k a d 250K as well as a mix.
Not sure which to go with?
Perhaps you could use 500k/250k dual ganged pots. I have a Strat with PAF buckers in the middle and bridge, SC in the neck and wired it so that there is a 250/500k volume pot, 250k tone pot for the neck and 500k tone for the buckers. I used one side of the switch as the 250k side and the other side for the 500k side- no jumper between the common terminals on the switch.

I still have to play a bass note to mentally see the chord. As an example My goal is to see say D7 on a sheet and grab xx45xx without thinking about and cutting the A or D bass note.

Yup. The perfect argument for stopping obsessing over gear and just PLAYING.
Not saying you can't explore and change gear through the years, but I do think many players, especially since the "age...

not a bedroom warrior myself but I will say that any guitarist and musician probably spends time on a ratio of about 100:1 of practicing vs gigging so something should sound great in either...
A Portrait Of The Artist is worth a go if you haven't already. The writing style matures as does the narrator, but it's far less 'showy' or experimental than Ulysses. I have to say, I read some of...
I think it's the opposite. Playing at low volume at home, nothing really makes that much of a difference. But when you have to amplify everything to rehearsal volume and band environment, then gig...
Thanks – that takes care of my confusion. I get what you're aiming for, and it makes perfect sense. And this thanks for your constant attention and helpful vids!
I tried, but couldn't get past the first page of that :). (Enjoyed Ulysses however.) I just googled the poem and noticed it uses the word 'gyre' which I recall being mentioned as a word with unknown...

Double winding has 2 main justifications that I know of:
- using a finer outer winding makes for less fingernoise
- different alloys can be used, e.g. one that is ferromagnetic and one that gives a...
