Humbucker possibilities?

[phatcactus]

Any electronics geniuses wanna mentally run through this and let me know if it's even possible before I drive myself crazy drawing a diagram? Coils are counted from nearest the neck. "-" means series. "x" means parallel. Parenthesis indicate independent volume-controllability.


Settings I think I want:

Standard humbuckers: (1-2) x (3-4)
MM Sabre humbuckers: (1x2) x (3x4)
Hums in series: (1-2-3-4)
Standard jazz bass: (2) x (3)
Jazz bass in series: (2-3)
Wide jazz bass: (1) x (4)
Wide jazz in series: (1-4)


How I intend to get them into a stock jazz bass control plate with three push/pull pots and a three way switch:

Neck volume: in for series, out for parallel coils
Bridge volume: in for series, out for parallel coils
Tone: in for parallel, out for series pickups
Three-way toggle (4P3T?): inner coils/humbucking/outer coils


Sooo, am I asking for too much?

it's going to be very very crowded to wire something like that into a stock jazz bass control cavity - I'm assuming you mean top jack, not side jack.
I did something similar with some Dimarzio J pickups in a Geddy Lee jazz, for neck s/p, bridge s/p and master s/p and it was very very tight in there.

IMO, if you do the Fender Roscoe Beck 5 switching you'll have a ton of options without needing master series/parallel. On mrgearhead.com they have the wiring diagram for the RB5, which gives you:

neck: series/parallel/sc (2 using your scheme)
bridge: series/parallel/sc (4 using your scheme)

But you could then put in a master series/parallel switch to give you one more option.

Have you done anything like this before?

I've done some basic wiring, but nothing this ambitious. However, there's a good chance that I won't put this idea to use for quite a while, so I'll have lots of time to practice. I'll check out the Roscoe Beck 5 diagram and see if it's similar to what I want.

Thanks!
