:D I was thinking of a way to keep it flowing one way. Trying to keep it passive and as uncomplicated as possible as it will be a lot already, but it would work! I think I'm just going to stick with 100% out of phase and hope that the lack of a secondary volume control gets it closer to the...

Hello everyone, this seems like an impossible ask which is why I'm asking. I'm wondering if there's a way to lower the volume of a pickup a fixed amount only while it's out of phase with this specific setup (to about 85% volume). I thought of adding a resistor in series with the output, but...

On the E string side, with a traditional P, it's sending more of the flubby side of the wire which is going to sound more loose and jangly. On G string side, it will be picking up a more refined tighter string. When you reverse that sensing, the pickup is going to sense a physically tighter E...

I have the Power variant, and I like it. It's very smooth, low power sound, but I only like it at one setting. Not what I'd call very versatile, but since I like that sound, I keep it. As for Jazz's, I like the bridge only most of the time, and don't really use the P pickup but the option is...

You're right - it would be easier, and make more sense to use a four way switch, but I'm only going to be using toggles and push pulls for this design. If I had a different design/end goal, and control scheme, it might be different. In this case I'm going to look past it and have the quirk as...

Wow, that was a disaster. Obviously very wrong. So I've decided that the push-pull (all poles up or down) that I'll be using will switch between series and parallel. If it's set to series, it bypasses the three way switch and goes into full dual humbucker mode, but if it's set to parallel...

I think I finally got it. I didn't realize it, but then it hit me. Look at that paper... And it wasn't the first. I'm going to go finish the rest of my diagram now... Or rather just plop down this missing piece. Haha, and only a 4PDT and a DPDT is needed... I thought I didn't have enough :D

@fig How would you go about adding a four pole push/pull master series parallel switch and a three way four pole pickup selector to this? I just can't figure it out. When I brought the series/parallel wiring to my tech, he want sure of a good what to introduce a three way pickup selector to...

So I know that this was posted quite some time ago, and I've given in and given up on this so many times now, but I was hoping that you could look at this again for me. What I'm wondering is what would happen if I had the parallel and series signals separately go to a two channel buffer/mixer...

Front page, then often the Electronics section. If I'm looking for something, I usually start at the electronics section, but I haven't even visited lately. I'd been feeling let down by different bass electronics ideas I've had that simply wouldn't work with standard components. I'm planning...

Haha, yeah I guess I could have referenced that. It's that damned M/N I'm looking for :p I was hoping that if I didn't get one with a push/pull which Noll also makes, that I could get an M/N taper. I haven't been able to find one which means that I'd need a custom made one regardless of...

Other than looks, is there anything that can't be done in 5 or 10k?

I'm looking for a M/N tapered blend pot stacked with an audio tapered volume pot. It'd be great if someone knew of both 500k, and 250k variants as well. The last time I started looking this up it took hours to try to find them, and I don't even remember if I found one, so I'm hoping some of...

I'm wondering if it's possible to remove all the electronics, minus the pickups, and replace them. I'm hoping someone knows if each pickup has four wires, and if the switch taps into somewhere in the middle of a coil, or if the wiring only uses full coils for it's switch. I'm pretty sure one...

The hole in the speaker is from me prying. It's all good though!
