Newbie - Wiring Help Needed


JoeUK

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum and want to use Ansil Gregory's 12 way wiring diag as the wiring basis for a strat

build I'm doing BUT I need assistance on some changes I'd like to incorporate.

Ive got 2 HB's, 1 SC, a standard 5 way switch, + 2 push/pulls just like Ansil's 12way BUT I'd like to use a TBX with Joe Arthur's Tbx rewire - Joe's TBX mod as master tone control.

I'm also putting in a roland internal gk3 hex pickup.

I've already cut out a nice comfy cavity in the rear of the body for the controller and made extra holes in the pickguard for the 2 roland control buttons, the guitar/mix/hex switch, and the led. The GK3 has a standard vol pot, but I dont want to do any more holes in the pickguard (its already 'swiss cheesed'), so I was thinking I could use 1 push/pull to be master volume (HB's+SC only) + Ser/parrallel switching. The TBX as master tone (again HB's+SC only). And use the other pull/push pot to do the phase switching AND as volume control for the GK3 hex pickup (I beliceve there's no elctronic coninuity between the pot part and the switch).

The Roland guitar/mix/hex switch GK3 wiring diag, needs + and - wires from the guitar volume to the controller - so I suppose special care maybe needed to ensure I dont blow the controller.

Is all this possible? and can any of you guru's help with the wiring diagram.

Cheers

Joe

So with this TBX pot... you can set frequncy of a cut..two of them

Can you do something like this in which

Push = Neck Volume

Pull = Bridge Volume

LP in two knobs! YEY

I've asked this in about 5 threads...maybe someone will know of some company who makes this kinda pot!

Thank'ee

Hi,

Im no expert, but the TBX is a tone control only pot. It has a middle 'detent' - so turning 1 way cuts treble and the other cuts bass.

I think what you need is a stacked concentric pot for neck and bridge vol - its like 2 pots on top of each other.

Ive never used one, so I dont know where you can get one but I.m sure others can advise or you can goole concentric pot.

Joe
