I went to a jam last night and my '64 EB-0 with the single Dimarzio played great! In the next few weeks I should have a mudbucker to fill the hole below the neck. The result will be two pickups, each with four leads....and some interesting wiring possibilities.
Right now it has a volume pot and the other pot was removed and replaced by a toggle switch. That switch seems to select between two different settings on the Dimarzio Model One pickup which is in it. There are four leads from the Dimarzio, and I'm guessing it's currently wired with the "Dual Sound" series/parallel option as seen at:
http://www.dimarzio.com//media/diagrams/4Conductor.pdf I'm confident that some of you Evil Genius Gibson Fans (EGGF) will have ideas on how I can/should wire the pair of pickups....so I'm soliciting your ideas, and even beyond that, your wiring diagrams if I can get you so involved that you are become a big enough
sucker helper that you feel like making one.
Here are the ground rules I'm trying to stick with...and a picture to help:
1) There is one pot and one toggle switch; I'd like to avoid making another hole in the bass. I can live with either a volume pot or tone pot - but can live without one of the two. I'm thinking that replacing the toggle switch with a rotary pot may be the trick, based on the criteria below.
2) I figure that I need the following options on the switch:
- Neck pickup only
- Bridge pickup only
- A combination of Neck & Bridge pickups (what idea to you have?)
- A different combination of Neck & bridge pickups (what other idea to you have?)
And the floor is open for ideas, discussion, snappy patter, fart jokes and the other common discourse found here.
