s/s/s, superswitch, push/pull vol and two tones....

[stonabus]

i would like to do this:

pulled up
1 neck
2 neck and mid
3 neck and bridge
4 mid and bridge
5 bridge

pushed in
1 all three series mg:
2 neck and mid series
3 neck and bridge series
4 mid and bridge series
5 all 3 parallel :bigthumb:

ok, so how would i go about doing that? i remember seing a similar schematic that artie drew up for someone, but the pic is no longer in the post(?)
thanks in advance.......

Hi there:

I am trying to do a similar deal with series and parallel in a Burns Bison with Trisonics. I have looked EVERYWHERE on the internet and have found very little that can be used. I have tried one very complicated series-parallel diagram with eight switches that didn't work (not from this forum).

Please let me know if you find out a good way to switch from series to parallel for your setup. I will do the same with you if I find anything. I can adapt yours if you get a way to do it.

Thanks,

Ubehebe

Actually, I'm chewing on both these problems now, its just that with some other "life" stuff thats going on, I'm moveing a bit slower than I did in the past.

I hope to have something for both of you in a day or so. Thanks for your patience.

same here dude! not a whole lot of feedback on this mod.

and artie..... it would be super saraphic to have you help with a schematic. i hope the "life" stuff isnt causing too much tribulation for ya, keep yer head up brother.

Some time ago I asked a question quite similar. Artie came up with a great schematic in response. The only setting from your schematic that's missing in mine is the neck + bridge in series-thing.

I see the image of the actual schematic is missing, so I added it as an attachment to this message.

Thanks, Artie, if you find time. That would be great. I'm sure that I've pestered you enough so that you know I'm looking to do the Brian May phase-switch routine -- with some way to switch back and forth from series to parallel and vice versa. I've tried a couple other sources, and no one has an answer. :-(

Sorry to hear that your extenuating circumstances are continuing.

I did a setup with cool rails that was a little klunky but has some features
I really like. I took the N coils into a 3-way selector (n, m, b), and the
S coils into ANOTHER 3 way selector. Between the selectors, I have
a series parallel switch.

The first cool part is that you get basically equal volume from all positions
of the selectors. (i.e., you have

neck series,
neck SC in series with middle SC (no volume drop in quack mode)
etc

or

neck parallel
neck SC in parallel with middle SC (again, no volume drop in quack mode)
etc

Of course, all settings are hum-free.

I spend more time using it in the parallel setting for a very spanky
strat sound.

The first bad part is the dopey two selector switch thing with redundant
settings. If I rebuild the thing, I'll move to a 5-way super switch and have
a push/pull pot to switch between the middle pickup alone and
neck + bridge in the 3 position.

The second bad part is that I'm may be missing some important
tones. The ones I'd like would be

any pickup single coil (i.e., a little more meat and focus than parallel)
any two pickups in series in parallel (your normal cool rail sound)

A completely different approach I've been looking at is to wire all the
pickups in series and then tap out various combinations into the
parallel selector. As an example, having the front 3 coils of the 3 CR
pickups in this strat would make a 12k neck w/quack, and the other
3 coils would be a 12k bridge w/quack. In the parallel position, they
would be hum-cancelling, have more meat than the 3 pickups in
parallel, and probably be pretty chimy.

Still missing the normal sounds though...
