Well, I've been screwing with these darn Duncan designed pickups (HB103-B & N);trying to put them in my PRS clone project. I've been playing with them for a couple of hours now and just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. What I have is a volume, a push-pot tone/coil tap, and a 3 way switch.
Anyway, the pickups are five wires and I converted them to 3 (white +red, green + bare wire, and the black). I hook the blacks to the 3 way, the gr./bare to the back of the volume pot (grounded), and the red/white to the coil tap.
Everything works perfect; coil tap works, tone works and everything. BUT, the friggin volume is acting like the tone. I even tried completely disconnecting the tone and it still did the same thing (no caps anywhere). I also completely switched pots and tried it without the coil tap (just a regular 1 volume, 1 tone and 3 way setup with 2 humbuckers) and it still did the same thing.... Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm tired of fooling with it and I could use some help....
BTW, I'm basically wiring it like a JS100............. except with no hi-pass filter. Here's a diagram of a JS100 for reference:

Thanks for any help you can give me.......
