Has anyone tried wiring a bass to Broadbucker specs, but with the bridge into neck instead? Or even a Reverse Broadbucker on a guitar?
Mainly going for series, with no pup selector. Basically when in series it would be bridge>volume>series sw>neck>volume>tone pot>out Any drawbacks? Should the inbetween cap be used or left out?

Roadtonever tried it in this thread. I don't know of anybody else. I don't know if Roady's built it yet. If he has and he's lurking, hopefully he might see this and give us his thoughts on it.

Guess it's only a Broadbucker if a cap is in-between the series pups. Looking at the JHLP wiring, the neck's volume pot is included with the neck's ground at the s/p switch. Which was what i was really thinking of. iirc it also lets you roll back the volume pot to 'shut it off' but leaves you with the other pup and not killing the whole sound But with the tone pot at the output, JB style. Is there any benifit to having the cap across the bridge when in series?

Never tried on a bass. My Rick has several different broadbucker options. When the bridge is bypassed by the cap, with all the treble coming from the neck that high end comes out kind of thin and almost disconnected from the body of the tone. I really haven't played with it much, though.
