I'm preparing to be a broke collage student . . .

Some day I'd like to learn how to make a collage too. Show us some of your work.

Here you go, this is all that you need. Done done and done... no stupid half assed wiring that gives you one good sound and one meh sound. And you can keep your neck sound if you ever want it. 2 completely different yet whole bridge pickup voices.

That looks really cool honestly, but I will have to look into how it works. It is an active pickup though

So? forget anything you already think about actives when it comes to the fluences, Other than they use batteries nothing of the old thinking applies here or has been used in their creation.

That's awesome and I thought the 89 was versatile...

Frank Falbo had a hand in designing the Fluence. That alone should be enough to guarantee tone.

Yep, you're off your head

When i was 15. All I played on, was the bridge pickup. I used to love the gharish punchy tone's I could get with it. Since growing up and really getting into a different sound, I almost exclusively play soloing on the neck pickup now. Only use bridge for rhythm and low neck lead.

Yup. That was wicked! Now, I just hope the OP understands my sense of humor.

Paging Dominus...

DuncDist nk is pretty bright...

Wire a bright neck pickup in parallel. It'll sound fairly close to a bridge pickup that way. (It takes away the mud and the "hollow/flute-y" sound of neck pickups.) Use a fairly moderate output pickup and lower it from the strings to brighten it up a little more if necessary.

I run each pickup straight to a stereo jack (bridge to tip, neck to ring) and use a splitter to go to two different setups.
