Is this wiring possible with a 5-way switch/super switch?

Bridge
Bridge + Neck slug coil
Neck slug coil
Neck series
Neck parallel
(two tone knobs, one volume)

Anyone feel like drawin' me up a diagram?

Bump to the first page...

I'm gonna try to get all caught up tomorrow. If so, I'll fit this in.

Thank you, sir!

Quick question - on that 2nd position, do you mean bridge slug and neck slug, or do you mean full bridge and neck slug?

Edit: And while we're at it, do you want that position to be hum-cancelling? (Requires a mag flip, if you feel like messing with it.)

Full bridge. And naw, I don't need it hum-cancelling. Thanks though!

What service! I usually fumble through with a multimeter and diagram as I go, but it sure is nice to have a guy like Artie here for the folks that may not be as handy. Somebody send Artie a 12 pack!

The more beer you send . . . the less I'm gonna get accomplished.

One of these days... you will get your 12-pack. Oh yes, sir. Oh yes.

I'll post this when I get home from work. I thought I had it done, but forgot about the two tones. So I had to change a couple things.

Re: Is this wiring possible with a 5-way switch/super switch?

Ok . . . one more question. This wiring requires a Superswitch, and since we're doing that, you have a couple choices on how you implement the two tone controls.

1. Simple, one tone for bridge, and one tone for neck. Nothing really wrong with that except that in your bridge/split neck position, you'll have two active tone controls. Might be a little "dull".

2. One tone control for the bridge, bridge/neck-split position.
One tone control for the other three neck modes.

I prefer #2 myself, but its your choice. I'll post the diagram as soon as you answer.

I was thinking option 1. Thanks again!

While I was waiting, I drew it up both ways. Give me a sec, and I'll post both pics.

Deal!

Ok, first off, right-click on these, and save them on your computer where you can find them later. My server is filling up and I need to clear some space.

Here's the 1st option:

Here's the 2nd option:

Notes:

1. The handle on a Superswitch, (as do all selector switches), moves the opposite direction from the contacts. So, in both of those diagrams, you're looking at the bottom of the switch, with the right-hand side towards the bridge. (Even though the neck is connected there.)

2. The little green squares are shorted together and then connected to ground. It doesn't matter what order they're connected in. Just jumper them together and run a wire to ground. Same with the little blue squares, except that they go out to the volume pot.

3. On the 2nd diagram, should you change your mind later, if you remove the little jumper where the red arrow is, and move it to where the green arrow is, you'll have one tone control for the bridge by itself, and the other one for the other four positions. Its just an option.

Let me know if any of this isn't clear.

Ah! Thank you very much, sir! Do you mind if I upload them to my photobucket, for if anyone else wants to use this wiring?

EDIT: One more question: If I wanted to do the same thing with one volume, one tone, would I just add a jumper where the green arrow is?

Sure. Once I post a diagram, it belongs to the world.

EDIT: One more question: If I wanted to do the same thing with one volume, one tone, would I just add a jumper where the green arrow is?

Actually, its easier than that. For one tone control, just connect it to the output as any normal tone control. There's no need to run through the switch.
