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.
Gee, I hate to tell off on myself but I've been using them for at least 45 years. That said, they rough-up pretty good after a while. BTW I found a clip where a bassist put hand lotion on his strings...

Hi Tal.
The defining factor of Dm7 into G7 is the change of D Minor Seventh's 'C' note to G Seventh's 'B' note.
Barry's F6o has 'C' and Dm6o & Abm6o have 'B' notes making the move strong.

I've often seen archtops described as being mid-rangy (acoustically at least). One of the things that I seem to be noticing now that I have a wooden-with-bone-insert saddle on my Loar is that I have...

I don't know if this interests you, Jack - but I thought I'd mention it in case you might consider it. There's a PM200 for sale now at Guitars 'n Jazz.
Hey Jeff, good to hear from you. Well, to back it up a bit my last jazz box had TI Bensons on it. They were muy fabuloso! After about a month or two they broke in very nicely and for three years...
