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.
How about this: on my Epiphone Lucille, with a decent semi-hollow tone that rivaled my buddy's '64 ES 345 with stock p/ups,
On the gig, the pickups didn't cut through. So, I put a 57 Classic +...
+1000000 on the wedge.
I've also given EQ tips for people who prefer a more fender sound. Also have tried pedals with it to give it more tube like response. I'm a huge fan of the Bud6. I don't...
Thanks for the opinions. You guys are making me think perhaps a Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster would be the cure for the playing live dilemma. It does have a line out, so if I wanted to plug into the PA......
What comes of decades of “noodling”?
