Gibson Basses / Gibson Triumph Les Paul Bass Wiring/Controls
« on: March 16, 2018, 09:12:28 PM »
I've got a Triumph Les Paul Bass that was rewired.
It was wired with only the hi output coils, the phase, decade, and Hi - Lo switches were removed along with the internal transformer, and the control plate was replaced without the holes & slots that were on the original.
I want get the controls back into original functioning condition.
The original Decade switch controls the 3 taps on the 2 pickups, position 1 selected Lo taps on both pickups, position 2 selected Mid taps on both pickups, position 3 selected Hi taps on both pickups,
The only blade switch I think I can get to replicate the Decade Switch is a (5W4PSSS) 5 way 4 pole strat super switch .
I can wire the 5W4PSSS so the 3 original Decade switch selections are available, this leaves 2 switch positions available for additional configurations.
Since this bass has a single volume control, so changing the balance between the pickups isn't available in the original wiring design.
I could wire the 5W4PSSS switch so pickup A is on the full power pickup tap, while the pickup B is on one of the lower power taps.
Which of the following 2 configurations would you suggest:
A) First Additional Position [Neck Hi Tap : Bridge Mid Tap] & Second Additional Position [Neck Mid Tap : Bridge Hi Tap]
B) First Additional Position [Neck Hi Tap : Bridge Mid Tap] & Second Additional Position [Neck Hi Tap : Bridge Lo Tap]
C) First Additional Position [Neck Mid Tap : Bridge Hi Tap] & Second Additional Position [Neck Lo Tap : Bridge Hi Tap]
Thanks,
V/R Brent,
