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.
Apparently so. The user manual lists a few possible substitutes for the EL34, including 6L6, 5881 and 6V6. Your concern about this swap is exactly the reason I'm not doing it yet. I've sent in a...
I'm not sure I really understood. You can put a 6V6 in place of the EL34 right off the bat in this amp??
Thanks for all this great information. The Little Gristle got out of my interest for a while,...
I’d echo what @allenallen said about your amp. Admittedly I’ve not played through one but aren’t Fishman amps really specifically geared towards amplifying acoustic instruments?
Secondly, the...
Thanks so much for all of the responses. There's a lot to think about here and a lot of approaches and I will be revisiting this thread again and again. It'll give me new things to try and think...
My Campellone Special has exactly the same specs as a Gibson Johnny Smith. The scale, nut-width and body dimensions are all the same as a JS. Interestingly, the Campellone sounds more like my JS than...

GuyBoden, thank you for this reminder. This is one of those things that can make a big difference if you are aware of it. It seems to me that less thumb pressure is always beneficial.
When playing with a band I always try to get my tone a little cleaner and brighter onstage. By the time it gets to audience land it will sound just right.
I would never use compression live. It...
