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.
haha oddly enough I haven’t transcribed any GG. But I have listened to him a lot, and picked up something from it, I’m sure. As others have said, his lines have a wonderful clarity, and his time...
Also worth noting that GG was effectively the house guitarist for Blue Note. Alfred Lion obviously liked him, and recorded him on loads of albums.
As far as I know the only other guitarist who...
I finally made up my mind and ordered a 7 string alnico II 59 bridge with a nickel cover to put in the neck position of my 335.
I know I could swap magnets myself in one of my two existing 59s,...
The notes are more easily sung that way; half steps and leading tones. That tradition, as a choral tradition, became assimilated as a sound and once it became part of the compositional canon, it was...
Regardless of how rigid it is, adjustments are necessary over the lifetime of an instrument. My dad's steinberger had a carbon/fiber neck and fingerboard. No trussrod. Guaranteed against warping....
Because rules are tools for fools:)
Most basic answer is that in jazz, the scale is not only used for melody, but harmony.
This is why Christian and I have started a petition to call the scale...
I had never thought about the increased stiffness of a fingerboard fighting the truss rod adjustment, but I do believe it's likely a 'thing'. It's got to make for one rigid board. Of course, maybe if...
How did it evolved in jazz that the melodic minor scale is played the same way ascending or descending, that is, when descending the 6th and 7th notes are not flatted but raised as in when ascending?...
125's like that are great guitars.
I own one of the earliest mid-40's models, and it's a wonderful guitar. Those P90's should come with a warning for players with pacemakers! Serious magnets.
The last amp I really liked was the Fender 68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb. I had to change all the tubes right away since 2 out of 3 where faulty. I heard a lot of owners report the same issue. After...
I put a StewMac Parsons Street humbucker in the neck slot of my MiK Broadway and love it. Then I put a Seymour Duncan PhatCat (?) --the P90 in the Humbucker form factor--in my Zephyr Regent...
I looked at the pickup openings and it looked solid. There is a strip of thin wood under the bridge, but not under the whole top.
And I played my EEB and my L5ces alongside an Aria Pro II PE180...
Why in jazz are the raised 6th and 7th notes...
