Dugz Ink Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Okay... so I flipped out over the AES-800 I played... then realized that it was more money and wiring than I need to get into on my first project. K.I.S.S. So here' what I have in mind: 2 humbuckers, each wired in series. The neck pup is then wired to a 2-position switch, so I can reverse the phasing. Both are then wired to a blend pot, instead of a 3-position (selector) switch. I prefer the idea of a blend pot because I have never liked having a switch that tells ME how much of each pickup I get to hear. Also, I think the blend pot and the phase-reverse combination might create a neat sound as you sweep through. Tell me if this is a good idea or a waste of solder.

skibum5545 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well, I like the idea. I know I personally opted for Vol Blend Tone on my last bass (instead of Vol Vol tone or Vol switch Tone) because I actually use the blend at different levels. One thing I might suggest is using a push-pull pot instead of the switch, for a cleaner look. Or, adding a push pull feature to one of the pots for added effects that don't clutter your look. Your call, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Looks great to me! Simple and easy to use, and the phase switch should offer some really cool sounds with the blend knob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
