4 position switch for humbucker?

[orangejulius3]

Anyone know if and where can I find a 4 position toggle switch?

I did a quick search and don't see anything.

I'm planning to get 2 different music man humbuckers for my warwick $$.

I'm thinking of getting the quad coil Bartolini and setting up Parallel/Top coil/Bottom coil/Series. Is this possible?

Also, does not need to be a toggle switch, but at least a 4 position switch.

All I can think of is a Telecaster 4 way switch or a Seymore Duncan Triple Shot: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...e=&network=g&gclid=CJCEzcaG-cACFRaSfgodXbQAyA and [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I've also heard of roto switches that do what you describe, but I have no idea where to get them.

Why not just use a rotary toggle switch?

StewMac makes a six position toggle switch, but you would need to verify that it is possible to get the scheme you want, since the switching pattern is not standard.

Thank you.

Telecaster 4 way seems nice but might take up too much room since I would have to get 2 of them.

The rotary switch might be the ticket. I would have to call my tech and see if I can use this type of configuration.
Parallel / Top coil / Bottom cool / Series

I wonder if I can even get a P configuration out of the quad coil Humbucker!?!?
Has anyone done this?
Also, is a quad coil the same as a dual split coil?

It's done like this. Change the positions around to get the order you want.

I don't know if you know this, but 4-way rotary switches are gigantic.

No they aren't. Here's a counterexample: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALCOSWITCH-...593?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35dbce27c9

Here's a counterexample:

I don't have a picture but I have some 2 pole 12 position rotarys that while not as small as a dime are no bigger than a dual concentric pot. The old style open wafer rotary switches are rather large but more modern designs are quite small.

Something like this?

The quad coil really has me thinking.

Maybe I should go with a 6way switch.
