Re: lil 59 question
Ok I am getting there one goof at a time
The bridge sounding thin was a bad ground connection. Now when I switch to use the neck and 59 bridge it sounds thin and bodyless. Here are some details.
59 in the bridge of course
fender noiseless in the neck
3 way switch
250k pots
I do have the ground to both pups together on the volume pot, could this be my problem?
Thank for any help guys... I know this is petty to you gurus

Re: lil 59 question
Hey Telerific; I'm not positive about this, but I believe I've read in these threads somewhere that the Fender p'up uses a "reverse" polarity than an SD p'up does. I believe you need to reverse the wires of either the SD or thr Fender.
Hopefully one of the other folks will confirm this. Kent?

Re: lil 59 question
BTW, everyone is right about mixing Duncans and Fenders. They're wired opposite. Also, about your grounding question. If you can, you should run all ground connections to the same point. This prevents ground loops from occuring.

Re: lil 59 question
It is all working now guys, thanx for the help. I think I love this pup. I say think because it is kinda hard to really tell until the new pup joy dies down. I may try to venture into splitting the coil. Maybe I could put a 4 way switch in for it? bridge>bridge split coil>bridge neck>neck.
