Does anyone know where i can purchase the 5-way switch to select coils for MM HH pups? Im doin a mod on import and considering Seymour 4-knob preamp for 5 sting bass. Already have 4-wire pups.
 
Re: HH 5-way coil tap switch

Welcome to the forum.

Which coil permutations are you thinking of having? This will determine which exact type of five-way selector switch is appropriate.

As you may have already discovered, the official EBMM information explains the switching and knob functions without going to the extent of displaying a conventional wiring schematic diagram.
 
Re: HH 5-way coil tap switch

Given that he says "selecting coils", I'm going to assume he wants to select individual coils (splitting) at the very least. Could be series/split/parallel for all I know, though.

Either way, a straight Strat 5-way might get the basic job done as long as 2 and 4 are set for auto-split, but you'd want a MegaSwitch/SuperSwitch (20-something pins) to get all the craziness.


Hmm. Do they got TripleShots for bass-buckers yet?

The standard EBMM switch selects either humbucker, both together in parallel and some permutations of a single coil from each for a fake Fender Jazz Bass sound. I reckon that this requires a Superswitch.

Is it a blade switch or a toggle

If it's a toggle then the six way toggle may be your only option
