I have a Kingston Heir that I want to mod up.. I have a set of Hipshot tuners and a Hipshot A bridge.. (although I am considering changing that to a B bridge) and an Audere PZ4 (V,Bal,M,M,B/T) pre. I was considering pups and after considering Barts, Delano and Nordstrand I decided on Nordstrands. The pups I am considering are:
NJ5 or NJ5S for the single Jneck pup
and
MM5.2 Lakland for the MM bridge pup
I want to put a switch in there to split the coils as well.
My questions are:
NJ5 or NJ5S for the single Jneck pup
and
MM5.2 Lakland for the MM bridge pup
I want to put a switch in there to split the coils as well.
My questions are:
- The stock J pup on my Heir is a single coil. Should I replace it with another single coil (NJ5) or would a dual coil (NJ5S) HB J pup (which is what I would prefer) be fine?
- I settled on a dual coil MM pup because I didn't want the added confusion to me of trying to deal with a quad coil pup and the extra wires and options that would present and since the stock pup that is in there is a dual coil I figured I'd replace it with that. The Audere is a completely different animal and I have no idea where I would place the MM pup coil selector switch on the Audere because the pots are completely different. Has anyone ever done that? Put an Audere in a Heir, 55-02 or a MM bass with the coil switching in or is that something I should just forget about in this case? Below are links to two of the diagrams that I think pertain to what I am trying to do. I got them [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
