OK, my last post included a fairly rough wiring diagram as I struggled to resolve an issue with a weird balance blend behaviour. well, OK, I ditched the balance blend pot, and set up a totally noisless series/parrallel switching system instead. Amazing stuff. Now I have the full gutsy humbucking sound or I can flick a switch and have an authentic Telecaster "twang". I laboured for a long time over the pickup selection, and I am now totally satisfied. Only mod was the inclusion of a 4PDT switch in between the volume and tone control. I'm sure its been done before, but many hours of wire stripping resoldering and casting old pots away for new pots has paid off. I got my CAD program open this time too, so have a look and feel free to comment. http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/3783/telesp3wayfg4.png I'm happy now : .

http://www.fenderjaguar.net/manual.htm try that

jasperfish..do you have a volume drop between the Neck and Bridge+Neck positions? Your diagram looks very similar to what I have already??
-
Thanks, I'll give it a try! I post back if I have any success.

Thank you Curtisa, I'm looking forward to that diagram, and your reasoning re: the taper is good news.
-
That is certainly an interesting angle Saber, I'll have to investigate whther I have the wrong type of blend pot... in fact mine came from StewMac also!!

Sorry guys, no luck, I've grounded the balance pot as per the StewMac schematic andI still have the same issue. Onward and upward. It may just be an inherent problem without going active. I believe EMG have some great solutions in their bass accessories...

Ok thanks guys, I'll get on to it tonight and let you know how I go. I really appreciate your input!
-
Hopefully the URL is fixed now. Sorry about that!
-
Ok, I'll hang tight. I'm certainly looking forward to your ideas. Thanks again for your help so far!

Please excuse my poor schematic but this is what I have done. http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/4124/te...nceblendvr9.gif

OK, second post here, and I hope I get a response this time... I have now wired up my custom telecaster with 1. a volume, 2. pickup balance blend and 3. a No Load Tone. Its works fine, however... The problem is, that when I sweep the balance pot towards the neck pickup (Seymour Duncan STK-T1n), there seems to be a distinct "low volume" point midway between the balance blend pot halfway mark (equal bridge and neck pickup blend) and the full neck position (no bridge pickup in the blend). Once the balance blend pot is fully towards the neck pickup , the volume is fine. The volume of the blend sweeping towards the bridge pickup does not appear to drop in volume like it does sweeping towards the neck pickup. N>>>>>(drop)<<<<<<N+B===============B Q. Why is it doing this? is it normal, or does it need a fix? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

I am currently working on a telecaster project and I want to substitute the 3 way switch with a balance blend pot. Q. Do I just run all of the "finish" wires from the stacked humbuckers (STK-T2 and STL-T1n) to ground? I'm a little perplexed. If anyone can either head me in the right direction or point me to a URL with a wiring diagram I would be very thankful. .. update: the answer is "yes" AND IT'S all sorted out now... http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem..._bass_blend.pdf
