hey, i'm just about to order a KA motherbucker and a P90 for my strat (yeh yeh, im copying matt bellamy from muse, whatever )and i was reading about this guy who rewired the 5 way selector switch just for the MB! i realyl like this idea, but this guy is just ignoring my requests for help/schematics so anyway, i hope someone can help, his setup is as follows obviously the p90 push/pull pot would turn off the MB as i have no need for a mellow sound with the full noise of the MB screaming over the top so bascially, im competant with a soldering iron, but i have NO idea how id go about wiring the MB or the P-90 into this position. so what im asking is for someone who knows alot mroe than me about wiring than me to possibly do me a nice little diagram or even to just explain to me what to solder where and how to not short my guitar or blow myself up im totally comprehensive of compontents etc. i just dont get how to wire things 100% and i also havn't ever looked properly at a 5 way switch before. oh also, i'd prefer the bridge positions at the postions closer to the bridge i.e/ where the bridge pickup is on a regular selector, it just makes more sense to me to have the bridge options closer to the bridge, but its not all that important cheers in advance

ok, just sitting with my three single coils and a screwdriver to try and mix up the sounds, the bridge/mid position itsnt really used so ill either get it bypassed and save on a push/pull pot by having neck, neck/mid, mid, bridge, all and have a push/pull to split the coils or just go for the tariditional and have 2 push/pulls with one for turning a pup on (neck? any suggestions?) to use all three and one for single/humbucker.

ok, cheers. i dunno if i would want to only have on coil wired into the bridge/mid seletion though cos that'd be bit moe expensive and it would also confuse me if the dpdt wasnt working to use the hotrail

hey, im currently saving (yes saving. im only 15 ) for a seymour duncan bridge hotrail on my strat and wanted a couple of mods added as well. i want to coil tap the p/u and i also want to have all three p.us on at once which would involve new push/pull pots. now, as i have no cash and wouldnt know how to do the mods, im getting it done by a shop and to save on costs, i was wondering whether it would be cheaper to have the 5 way switch re-wired to have (from top to bottom) neck, neck/mid, mid, bridge, all as im not quite sure if i would miss mid/bridge with a hotrail. the main reason i use the mid/bridge selection is to kill the hum, but with a humbucker, surely it wouldn't work as you'd either have two negative coils and one poz or one neg. and two poz coils so there would be a hum...? unless the mixture of on humbucker and a single coil is a good sound or a dpdt knob is cheap to have installed i cant really see the point if im not gonan use it has anyone got this setup that could maybe record all combinations (neck, neck-mid, mid, bridge hum, bridge single, neck-mid-humbucker, neck-mid-single) id be grateful, or if people could just give advice? cheers
