Hey Guys, I just bought the BMP-1 and I'm planning on installing it on a jackson with emg-hz (they are 4 conductor pu's). This guitar originally comes with regular 3-way switch, but I want to put an ibanez 5-way switch on it and make the switching like the rg's come, you know with the coil splitting and the parallel neck option. Just like the image shows. Is it possible? and how?
BTW thanks for this product and its price :). It's the best way to make my guitar active while I'm still saving for the blackouts EMTY set \m/.

yeah it would be useful, i wanna put the BMP-1 on my Ibanez S7320 but i don't want to change the pickup selector and lose 2 positions (this guitars comes with the switching that he's asking).

I am also working w/the bmp trying to get more options out of the stock 5-way switch. Mine's an RG, but was originally configured HSH. I've ditched the middle single. So far, I can (obviously) get the standard three positions: neck hb, bridge hb, neck+bridge hb. This leaves two of my position dead. OR, I can get: neck hb, neck sc (split), bridge sc, bridge hb. This leaves one position dead, & 2 positions w/hum. On the OP diagram, 1 position desired is neck parallel, in addition to normal series. Is that possible? I thought (by default) the pickups get wired to the bmp in parallel, then the preamp sums the 2 coils, while canceling noise to give humbucking?
