I'm looking to do a similar thing, with a single coil in the bridge position, and a humbucker in the neck, which i'd like to be coil tappable.
I'm also considering using a Black Ice overdrive unit, which would run off the tone control, making it effectively an overdrive control.
Ideally, then i'd have a volume, a tone, and an overdrive control.
Is this feasible/possible at all?
I'm new to this, and have little, if any, knowledge of electronics.
Is there likely to be a large volume difference between the 2 pickups when both are selected, and is it possible to get around this?
Also, a coil tap splits the humbucker into a single coil, yes? How is this usually controlled? A switch, or a push/pull pot?
Is there a site with clear wiring diargrams for this sort of thing? (Both with the extra overdrive control/black ice unit, and just the humb/single coil wiring, as i'm looking to add the black ice with new pickups later on when money allows....)
I'd also appreciate it if someone could explain the principal of grounding to me.... the need for it, and how its actually done....
Many thanks
