My Modded "Double Reverse P" Essex

[SMILEYSIXX]

Old thread, but while searching for a double P pup thread, came across it. Sweet SX! I'm thinking of putting a reverse P pup in the bridge of my '84, but leave the current pup as is. It'll look a tad strange, but I think it would sound great.

Id of put the bridge P set a good half inch further away from the bridge. But as you have them is the more common placement for neck and bridge P pup sets.

is there any way to put 3 halves of a P pickup together like a 1 1/2, and solo out either the regular P or the reverse P to have a fast comparison?

ive heard both.. but not on the same bass at the same time

I like the idea of using a blend control for the two DG halves... How hard can it be?

I like the idea of using a blend control for the two DG halves... How hard can it be?

Treat all halves is seperate p'ups, send them allthrough a master volume, send the EA p'up to the tone, then send the two DG halves through a blend and THEN to the tone, then wire it as one p'up to the output. It would definitely be interesting... I would prefer a switch between the two DG halves though. Similar concept to the blend, but I would rather go between standard and reverse with an on/off switch because I don't see blending the two halves as any kind of advantage and, unless shielded appropriately, may cause some hum...
