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.
It's possible that you could make that work, but if it's the same volume as a regular Princeton, I would have trouble with any Hammond B3 player I have ever played with- they are uniformly very loud...
I feel that there is a fair bit of an overgeneralization in this list, though I agree that the bridge is mostly a maintenance item.
Speaking as a player, I definitely think that the composition of...
not quite the same thing but I was working in club that was a converted house. the room was very small w/ a stage in the back and being a converted house the ceiling was low. I had my old L-5 on...
I did not have the pickups at the same time, so my comparison is by memory. I felt that the new one (I only compared the 1100) had less high end. I also felt that it was susceptible to more single...
I've told the story before, but may as well tell again-- in my younger years I played a club in Chicago that had two levels. We played 2 shows in one night, one on the main floor and then one in the...
Heritages, Gibson Citations, etc, can't say I've ever seen a figured wood guard I like against spruce tops, they just stick out and look out of place aesthetically. I tend to think if Gibson had used...
During my last year selling guitars, I seem to recall us getting an IBG 335 in stock and it being unnoteworthy, but I might be misremembering.
I wouldn't categorically shy away from Chinese-made...
I agree but why waste a perfectly good guitar, Im originally from N. Jersey where (in my day) a golf club was often kept just inside the door but nowadays I keep a 40v cordless weedwacker within...
