coil split

Hey Guys!! I'm having a tough time trying to wire up a bass, mostly because I have no idea what parts I need to pull off what I want to do. If anyone can figure out what I'm trying to do and knows what I need... or wants to tell me that I'm stupid and need to keep it simple, please help. Stock...

Just acquired this. Amazing bass so far, seemingly endless tone. That being said, I'm having a hard time dialing in the exact tone for me. Would love a clear run down on how these pickups work. There is a master toggle switch that controls which set of pickups are active, or a blend of both...

Sorry if I'm starting something that already exists, but here's what it's all about. I want to install a Dimarzio pickups and I want to connect them as follows. Pickups: each pickup coil split, series-parallel switch for both pickups on and phase switch for one pickup. Controls: blend, master...

Hello everybody. I want to modify my old semi-hollow bass. It is a copy of the eb2 with one mudbucker pickup. The first of my plans is to install a 6-way varitone switch. The second is to install a push-pull switch to coil split the pickup. The third is to install a piezo pickup and use...

Hey guys, looking for some help with some pickup wiring for my new EMG MMHZ for my stingray I'm looking to put in 2 SPDT switches to switch between series/parallel/north single and south single coil mode. I got the idea from this video: Theres a wiring diagram included in the video, but it...

Hi, I have a passive Jazz bass with 2 humbuckers and 3 pots. I would like to have series/parallel and coil-splitting capabilities - it would also be great if I could switch between north and south coils, when in single coil mode. I have 3 pots, and therefore 3 switches to potentially play with...

I'm digging the idea of putting the John East P Retro preamp into a single pickup, humbucker-equipped bass of mine. This bass currently has a coil tap function on the volume knob though, and I'd like to keep the option for variety's sake. Do any of you know of a preamp or wiring scheme that...

Hi all, I am looking into buying a dual humbucker active bass. My question is which you find more useful/versatile, an active/passive switch or a coil tap, and why. I can’t have both so I have to choose one. Thanks for all of the help!

Hi all, I am looking at buying the Harley Benton BZ4000NT, which is a dual humbucker bass with an active eq. My question is whether the active eq on the bass will give a reasonable approximation of a p bass or jazz bass tone. If not I will go with a bass with a coil split like the Ibanez sr line...

Hi all, I am looking for a bass that will be my only bass for the foreseeable future, so versatility is very important to me. I have come across Ibanez basses such as the SR300e (https://www.thomann.de/ie/ibanez_sr300eb_ca.htm?glp=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy5rwg8eL5wIVCbLtCh0qJgV_EAUYASABEgLr8PD_BwE)...

Hi all, I have decided to buy one of these two basses. (Links to the Harley Benton [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] and the Ibanez [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]). They are exactly the same price and both are active dual humbucker basses with a three band eq, so this is a direct comparison...

Hi everybody, I’m looking to do a fun project and try to create a hybrid between a bass and guitar by using a Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet II (red finish) and modifying it. First, I am deciding between using light-gauge short scale strings or piccolo strings. Since piccolo strings...

I really like the fodera duncan dual coils when coil splitted... Would a true single coil version of those necessarily sound better? What would be the differences in tone?
