strat "quacky" sound with splitted humbucker ?

[jabby]

Hi all,

my guitar is a H/S/H setup, 5-way switch, and i would like to get the strat typical sound in position 2 and 4.
bidge : APH-1
middle : SSL-1 (RWRP)
neck : 59'

For the moment, i get a pretty decent result in position 4, by splitting the 59' and using its outer coil (close to the neck).

My problem is for position 2 : i get best result by splitting the APH1 and using its inner coil, but it is still not really great : it sound flat, treebly, not "funky", except if i decrease volume, but then it losts a lot of dynamic.
When using the outer coil of the bridge APH1, it is even worth.

Any suggestion of a different wiring, or a better bridge HB/SC combinaison ?

Thanks,

J.

Re: strat "quacky" sound with splitted humbucker ?

I have a lil' 59 in the bridge and a single in middle. Try tinkering with the pup heights. I found that the quack happened when the one was "just so" in relation to the other's height. Wiring you have seems correct. Bear in mind that 'true' quack only cometh from true single coils.
