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.
Far be it for me to give a 79 year old Vietnam Vet advice on how to be happy or inspired about anything. We all have a different path to take in this lifetime. That said, music has been a big part...
If I may be a bit pedantic - what tone transfer? :) If I interpret the picture correctly there isn't even any vibration transfer through the bridge.
Which may be what explains the sustain you...
All inclusive does not always mean happiness :grumpy:.
That aside part of what gives me motivation to play is having an audience. I don't always have a physical audience - besides myself - but then...
That's funny, I've never held one either!
I've always just had an LP, strat and telecaster for solids, they have the classic sounds and always worked for me.
I'm not crazy about the PRS...
I have a Panique monkey-on-a-stick (well really just the "stick" portion) and control box I'm not using. I bought it for use with a Rhythm Chief reissue, but ended up liking the pickup so much, that...
Yeah, sorry maybe I wasn't clear about it. But sure, everything is more than welcome!
Thank you very much! I noticed, when improvising, that I do like the opened harmonic/rhythmic thing too....
