Re: lil 59 question
Ok I am getting there one goof at a time :smack:
The bridge sounding thin was a bad ground connection. Now when I switch to use the neck and 59 bridge it sounds thin and bodyless. Here are some details.
59 in the bridge of course
fender noiseless in the neck
3 way switch
250k pots
I do have the ground to both pups together on the volume pot, could this be my problem?
Thank for any help guys... I know this is petty to you gurus :22:

Re: lil 59 question
Hey Telerific; I'm not positive about this, but I believe I've read in these threads somewhere that the Fender p'up uses a "reverse" polarity than an SD p'up does. I believe you need to reverse the wires of either the SD or thr Fender.
Hopefully one of the other folks will confirm this. Kent?

Re: lil 59 question
Yeah,(depends what day of the week it is with those guys ... :laugh2: ), reverse your black and green leads on the lil' 59 (black>ground; green>hot), that will put you in phase. I'm not sure how the noiseless pups are constructed, whether they are a stack, or whether they are doing a transformered induced stacked/partial shielded thing ( circa DMZ virtual vintage series). So you might have have to split the lil' 59 to remain hum-cancelling when both are on together.

Re: lil 59 question
It is all working now guys, thanx for the help. I think I love this pup. I say think because it is kinda hard to really tell until the new pup joy dies down. I may try to venture into splitting the coil. Maybe I could put a 4 way switch in for it? bridge>bridge split coil>bridge neck>neck.
