positioning dual P pickups

[moonfire]

Hello,

I'm going to order a Precision body from Warmoth that's routed for 2 Precision pickups. Warmoth will rout each pickup in either direction, normal or reversed.

For a dual-P setup, what routing config what sound good? (if it matters, I play with a pick on Rotosound steels thru an old Ampeg SVT and fridge.)


Both normal?

Middle Normal/Bridge Reversed?

Middle Reversed/Bridge Normal?

Both Reversed?


Thanks

That'd do it I'd say, unless anyone's got a better idea (and it better be good)?.

That's kind of wacky, but if you wire things up correctly you could end up with 5 different P-bass tones (normal and reverse) in various locations, by doing some clever coil-switching.

If you want a well "known" and "classic" tones then go normal wiring, if you want to hear something different then try reversed. (personally I like normal, cause I know what tones I want and can get....Good Luck....and Have fun with designing and finding YOUR sound and tones.

At the very least, reverse the bridge for tonal consistency. Keep the neck in the proper P placement and like a normal P-pickup configuration for the versatility of it all.

Bridge reversed. Either way for the neck pup.

Normal neck, reversed bridge.
