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.
Do you think the Quilter Aviator is better sounding than the Blues Jr IV?
I'm having really a hard time finding a tube amp that works (!) and sounds good.

Somewhat related but TI strings are like magic sometimes. I got a Ibanez PM35 a couple months ago and it came with D'Addario strings on it and it was...eh. It sounded like an archtop I guess. I put...
My only real disappointment with my TM Twin Reverb is it lacks the feel of volume, if that makes sense, compared to my '65 TRRI or my '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. It almost sounds muffled to my ears.
Bridge bases are sanded to follow the contour of the top of the guitar at the right spot and correct angle for proper intonation. This allows maximum contact with the top for transmission of energy...
I tried some new supros side by side with a blues Jr. The Supros weren't what I was looking for, they sounded small and boxy. The Blues Jr. just sounded perfect, like all the guitar amps I knew...
You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves! I already have very nice guitars, but those are all so beautiful and I’m getting a little gassy. Please, please - no more...
I agree. I wasn’t clear in what I wrote. I scale my TM Twin down for similar reasons. However, I also play through a tube ‘59 Bassman RI with enough power to shake the nails out of my house. I...
Two very simple solid contenders for jazz seem to be the Boss IR-2 and the brand new Tonex One. Two channels, amp, reverb, the tonex also has a compressor and a tuner.

Has anyone played or had a Supro Amulet ?
