Cool Help with switch needed

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a Bartolini MME triple coil MM replacment pickup that I am installing in a modified J-body. The instructions provided with the pup show a variety of switching options. I would like to wire it up to a switch that allows for single coil,series,paralle. There are diagrams for this wiring, but it doesn't say what type of switch it is. It has a lug pattern like this:

- - - -
- - - -
- - - -

Anyone know what type of switch this is?
And where I can buy one?

Yep, a 4PDT switch, on-on-on. Bartolini and Allparts both sell such a switch. I do not believe Stew-Mac does.

Speaking of which, Matt, I'm gonna go ahead and rewire 1046-01 with a 4PDT since JP Basses was able to score me one of those cool Warwick concentric pots with the balance on the bottom and a push-pull volume on top.

I'm not sure whether to have a 2-way or 3-way miniswitch, though. With a 2-way, I'd just have it set up as:

Up: each pickup internally in parallel
Down: each pickup interally in series

With the 3-way, I'd have:
Up: each pickup internally in parallel
Middle: outer coil of each pickup (for a more J-like sound and hum-cancelling with balance at center)
Down: each pickup internally in series

The single coil settings sound kind of wimpy to my ear when you've just been listening to dual-coil. I guess it can't hurt to have one more option, though, can it?

You never know, Matt. For recording purposes, it might prove especially useful.
