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.
So this is the ungainly solution I have been using – weighing in at almost 9 lbs. But no grounding issue – when not played, the guitar is as quiet as can be, whether my hand is on the strings or not.
I bought a 2011 175 new and it had the laminated fretboard.
The fretboard was so stiff that the trussrod didn’t work.
It also didn’t even look like rosewood.
It was made shortly after the wood...
Hello Chris 32895,
Just like your Ibanez, my 175 showed herself as another instrument as soon as I put Thomastik-Infeld JS112's on. From then on, the archtop magic was full on. I'll never go back to...
I learned 5 positions, might as well use them. It keeps the 4 bars interesting over the week trying to get a few places. I moved Billies Bounce down an octave last night with relative ease, one...
The Blues Jr. sounds better than a quilter to me, but at a bar with people talking and drums playing, you can't tell. At the end of the night, the Jr. is just heavier and more fragile. The cable...
Dear Zigracer,
Yes I had the bridge removed a little bit towards the tailpiece and then had to adjust a few individual strings. And all of a sudden I had a new guitar.
Get the Jensen blackbird 40. I don’t see a reason to use a 10” neo speaker when it weighs the same as a small ceramic or alnico magnet (plus or minus half a pound). The Jensen blackbird is a great...
If that's true, then expecting someone to change because you asked nicely is naïve at best. The ignore function can help shield you from the "negativity and grumpiness" you describe. It can also...
IIUC driving 2 smaller speakers with the same (?) signal gives the same bass response as a bigger speaker (a round or oval one with the same diameter?) without sacrificing the treble response of a...
Can't you just try to be a bit nicer and more positive?
You've literally made OVER 9000 posts on this forum, and all I remember is negativity and grumpiness.
Just let the guy post what he is...
With careful use of the controls, I think the Cub sounds as good or better for jazz, pop, commercial, country and fusion. In its sweet spot, the BJ has the edge for blues. The Cub also does it all...
No more 10" Neo Speakers?
