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.
/methinks the L5 really has become the Golf of the guitar world - there are so many different variations that are usually so far from the original that one wonders why Gibson still have other model...
If I had the extra money I'd get one of the custom luthiers such as Holst, Campellone, Baker etc to try and build me a 15 "L5". Wonder if they would sound the same? Something tells me no. ( I've...
It should be rare, as in "red headed step child " rare! I get the feeling that someone had this guitar custom made and Gibson never told them that they had no sense of colour or design!!!

Well, an instrument with a lot of acoustic properties is not always what's needed...that's why 175's remain popular. Though a lightly built 50's 175 has a surprising amount of acoustic oomph.

Yeah. Looking at it, I can understand why this model# is “rare.” Definitely not the best look for a L5. The six finger tension tailpiece is a monstrosity also.
Well, the original question was "who's your favorite bassist" and not "who's the best bassist." There is really no objective way to measure who is the "best" bassist, any more than there would be an...
No no I hear you I just made a point that's all and yes I am very well informed. However I can remember when the ES-175 was the choice of guitar in jazz probably the cheapest made pressed top back...
You might consider that the audience here consists of a fairly well informed group. The thoughts you express are in conflict not only with what even a basic listening test will tell you (solid...
