ProfDrum Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 If I'm using a HSS configuration (Well, sort of... P90 in Humbucker Casing/Single/Humbucker), will I need a reverse polarity middle single to eliminate hum, like I would with HSH? Regards.

GregP Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 HSH doesn't need a reverse polarity middle to reduce hum. SSS typically does, and you have a... SSS configuration! So yeah, reverse polarity, reverse wound (gotta be both) to reduce hum. Note that this works best when two similar singles are combined. Mixing a strat-like single with a P-90 type single won't be as effective. But "partially reduce" is better than "not reduce at all", right?

GregP Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ah, yes-- I misread. I thought he meant there was no humbucker at all, just a P-90 in a humbucker casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
