i definitely recomend settling on your preferred wiring options before getting in there with a soldering iron.i used clip leads to see what worked for me.one thing i did discover, and will put in when i get around to putting in a switch to go back to parallel pickups ,is that a wire joining the 2 coil taps sounds pretty interesting.
Louder bass!.

I'm a squeeling! You might be right about the RD standard having a woodier tone, but to replace the RD pups ?

I wonder what Pickups would work with the Artist circuit?

I just strung mine with heavy gauge stings and drop tuned it to low C.

Here is a song I did with the new tuning - All RD
Dibs Big Day Remix

I tried to get a Johnny Winter Slide effect in the intro

John, you're either stark raving mad or a brilliant mind. Probably both. And you should definitely audition as Adrian Belew's bass player. Or for Steve Vai on mushrooms.  :)

It's that thin line between genius and insanithy...  ;)

Tony... Joe used what looks like screened belden to bring out of the pup... I have a bag-full of clip-leads with tails I acquired back in my British Airways days so have the test-rig covered...

This is the link to that thread...

Joe posted a link to some recordings he made of the sound differences he set up with a rotary switch... he had some interestingly differing sounds, too...
