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 love Ben Webster. I have never heard any guitar player approach what Webster does. Regardless of the instrument played, Webster was a unique, individual talent.
I do hear the slight similarity...

Of course GG had drug issues, broken relationships etc., so did nearly all the jazz musicians back then, it was a tough profession. Has nothing to do with his playing. Some of them found the drugs...
Ah, yes - and the reverse can be true too; sets with a wound 3rd intonate a lot better on saddles that have obvious micro-compensation with the contact point for the 1st and 3rd strings at the same...
Yeah this is an obvious thing about the blues.
But even with funk, R&B, and what we’d probably call Smooth Jazz—there’s a much more porous boundary between these and straightahead jazz than we...
And then he plays Oleo.
Blues has been a part of jazz since the beginning. Lots of artists in the sixties and beyond looked for inspiration in other forms of black music, R&B, funk, soul, etc.

Always been a big Ben Webster fan - love his tone; I wonder who would be an equivalent player in the guitar world? Wes on "One For My Baby" would be close IMHO. Others?
