Hey guys, so I have a Fender Jag and for the past year or so i've been trying to find the right string gauge. these are what I've used: Ernie Ball Slinky Top Heavy Bottoms * Beefy Slinky * Not even slinky Cleartone Heavy core 7 string pack I play in standard tuning, and as you can tell i like...

Hey guys, I have a crappy guitar I never use but I cannot sell it so i want to turn it into a baritone/ 6 sting bass similar to what fender has. Typically baritones are 28" and the bass 6's are 30". Instead of buying a new neck to up the scale length I was thinking of removing the old bridge and...

Hey Forum, so I have this little solid state amp, a Robson GA-15TS. It's a great little practice amp but I run it with the boost switch on, and the gain all the way up. I just want to know if I could make a Distortion pedal based upon all the innards of the amp. thanks for anyone who can help me...

Hey guys, recently I got a pro co rat 2 and I hate to say it but I'm disappointed with the sound I get more of a fuzz sound then I would actually care for. The reason why I got it is because even though I love my DS-1 I wanted another distortion pedal for some variety. What distortion pedals...

Alright guys so a lot of songs I play go from either clean to distortion, clean with chorus to just distortion and vice versa. Such examples are Angry Chair from Alice in Chains: starts with clean chorus to just distortion and back. Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana: Clean to distortion, then...

Re: 1 humbucker, 1 on/on switch, for coil splitting worse comes to worse I'll flip the jackplate where the switch is ;p also could this three lugged SPDT switch be used as a kill switch? here they show six lugs but could I just do the same thing with three? I.E: Master Vol connected to the...

Hey guys, so I had a thread asking people about how to use a three way blade switch to access both coils of a humbucker, and get it in series. I was going to do the plan but due to complications I'm now trying to see if I can use an on/on mini switch to go from the full humbucker, to coil split...

Re: 1 Humbucker, coil splitting for each coil. so I had fun in MS paint again. This looks hella confusing so I'll explain it. White and Red together activate the slug coil (north coil) so I have them going to the neck position of the switch. Green and black activate the screw coil (south...

Re: 1 Humbucker, coil splitting for each coil. so I;d have to do this type of wiring with a blade switch, and it's not possible with an LP toggle? How would I go about wiring it up using the seymour duncan pickup wire colors?

Re: 1 Humbucker, coil splitting for each coil. someone suggested using this type of idea but making the wires go like this " treat the front coil of the humbucker as the neck pickup and rear as the bridge. You will need a humbucker with 4 wires rather than 2 to do this - the hot and ground...

Re: 1 Humbucker, coil splitting for each coil. No problem I won't be doing this project for another couple days. Also I looked some stuff up and Squire has a signature Avril Lavigne Telecaster that's the same basic idea as mine. 1 humbucker, a 3 way BLADE switch that activates both coils on...

Re: Pearly Gates into Avril Lavigne Tele Wiring Help Hey guys I have a similar typed guitar: 1 humbucker, 1 volume, 1 tone, 3 way toggle. but my 3 way toggle is an LP styled one. How do you think I would go about making it so that in the first position it's one coil, middle it's both of them...

Re: 1 Humbucker, coil splitting for each coil. okay so excuse the bad MS paint job but would this work? the green and black coil connected to the toggle's bridge position to activate the screw coil. the red and white(in the picture mauve) attached to the neck to activate the slug coil, and...

Hey guys, this is the second time I'm making a post like this, for I'm still trying to figure my idea out. I have a guitar that will be 1 humbucker, 1 volume, and 1 tone. With the humbucker I want to be able to rig up something that could make me go between 1 of both coils, and be able to still...
