HEY HASTINGSand all wiring mod guys

[crashbarr]

i was wondering if anyone can come up with a wiring diagram that can incorporate 2 HB pups ,1 sc pup, 1 4-pole 5 position super switch ,1 500k push on/on taper pole pot. , and 1 standard 500k pot...I know a diagram i can use so that @ pos.1= bridge hb
2=bridge coil tap+sc
3=neck and bridge HB's
4= neck coil tap+sc
5=neck hb
however with the new push on/on pot. ,what other options can be derived from it?

Well, the two things I can think of would be either using the push/pull pot for either a phase inverter, or to ring in series wiring. Problem with the last one is that the whole parallel wiring convention is pretty much hardwired (literally) into the switching set-up.

Come to think of it, I think that the set-up also precludes convention phase inverting.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . .

You might be able to reverse the phase of the single coil pickup. That would be a pretty clean way of doing it, but I'm thinking that might creating issues with hum-cancelling.

Ideally, you'd want to be able to reverse the phase of either the neck or bridge pickup.

I'll think about it.

One simple idea, assuming its a DPDT, would be to use the push/pull switch to coil shunt the two HBs, or one of them, and also to remove one of the pickups from postion 2 and 4, to give some pure single coil tones.

my main problem is using the double wafer switch.it takes up so much room in my cavity that it limits the room for one of my pots....i suppose i could just order a new smaller dimension pot......? right?......is there such a thing?....im novice hack-miester!................... I haven't put the finish on the guitar I want to modify yet. But found out about my limited space issue doing a test fit...... or if I have to settle for using the old pot i might be able to bend a lug or two for clearance................hmmmmmmmmmm any more ideas?

there are smaller pots out there; Ibanezes use small (or rather too small) pots in almost all their electronics.

Limited space!?! How so? I have way limited space, but my SuperSwitch fits in there just fine.

Have any pics that could show us? That might help a lot.

I'll take some pics after paint this weekend
