rockthe40 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 tomorrow this kid is bringing me his pbass to fix up for him. i think its a squire but i know its a cheapy. has anyone tried reverse phasing one of the coils or know that it does/doesnt work? he wants me to do some "crazy" stuff to it but thats all that i can think of... ive never messed with a pbass before either also, can someone give me a link to instructions to turn a 2 wire humbucker (split-coil pbass PUP in this case) into a 4 wire? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Since each coil on a Pbass senses two completely different strings, reversing the phase on one coil won't do anything but eliminate the humbucking, making it noisier - I suppose you could run the coils in parallel, but you'd lose a lot of volume. About the craziest thing you could do with a stock Precision is actually learn how to play it really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockthe40 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 i started to think that about the reverse phase also. oh well, not my bass anyway. i think ill try the parallel out for him just to see how it goes. lol ill pass that last advice onto my friend (also a prospected bassist for my band, so not a bad idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 You want crazy? Go and buy a bunch of Danelectro mini stomp effects, and install them in the guitar. Besides that, there's not much you can do to a single 2-wire pickup. But hey, when he gets his Squier back, it'll scream with Super Mega Crunch, Auto Wah, and 7-band EQ all at the same time!
