Ready To Wire Electronics...

[drewtimfan]

Basically here is my setup and parts:

Setup: Humbucker-P90-Humbucker

1) Push/Pull Pot for tone and kick on neck pickup

2) Push/Pull Pot for master volume and kick middle pup out of phase

3) Varitone Switch

4) 5 way rotary switch for pickup selector

a)neck

b)neck/middle

c)middle

d)middle/bridge

e)bridge

Parts:

1)2 tv jones classic pups

2)1 tv jones p90

3)25 feet unshielded white wire

4)25 feet unshielded black wire

5)25 feet shielded/braided wire

Does it seem like i have everything i need to make the setup work? I am sorry this is a long description, but i wanted to include everything. Thanks

I just found out that tv jones are 1 wire pups so i can't wire them in series/split/full... They are only 4.1 and 4.8k ohm... So i dont think wiring them in parallel would be helpful anyway

You'll need a cap for the tone pot.

Oh yeah thats right

I am going to use a .001uf for the volume and a .047uf for the tone.

Try a 150pF or 220pF for the treble bleed cap -. 001uF is a midrange boost (3dB @ ~636Hz).

Thanks for the help. I am new to wiring so if you have any tips for what i am trying to do ie series/split/full, varitone, and phase switching please let me know
