Triple shot,pickup and wiring questions

[Lithium_Grim]

Hi there,

I want to rip out my burstbucker pro's from my 2004 Gibson Les Paul standard faded (mahogany body and neck with rosewood fretboard) because I find them to "middy" and muddy (a bit muffeling my sound).

I'm considering to get a shpg-1 or a sh-1 4c in the neck and a TB-12 or TB-14 as bridge. All 4c cable offcourse. Also I want to use it with a set of tripleshots.

My questions are these:

1. Will a trembucker fit in the tripleshot set (the standard LP set that is as I need the high bridge in my Les Paul)

2. Does anyone have a wiring scheme to add phase shift and putting both pickups in series/parallel with each other (not with them selfs as the tripleshot does that)? Standard pase **** I can do but I don't know how to add the series/parallel. I am considering to add two push pulls tonepots to do this.

3. Which of the pickups do you recommend for me. The TB-12 or the TB-14, SHPG-1 or SH-1. I play mostly classic rock and some hard rock. I'm a big Thin Lizzy/Gary Moore fan. I don't want to go too trebly so that is why I'm in doubt about the TB-14.

Thanks in advance for any advise!

1: the first answer is yeas
here is a flat set on my TB-4 in the bridge and SH-2 neck

2: the second answer is yeas
but you will need a pair of push pulls to do it
I did it on the above RG but with a 5way-4pole superswitch
the thread is here sound clips and all

3: while this would be a matter of preference, most folks find the 59 (SH-1)
boomy in the neck
but I have had no experience with either pickups you have mentioned
so we'll have to let someone else weigh in on that

you do have the stock LP 3 way switch, right
give me a bit to find you a diagram for the series/phase thing

EDIT
you wont be able to use covered trembuckers in the Tripleshots

Thanks so much on your reply. I overlook the triple shot in the wiring diagram section. Do you have some more sound samples with distoriot perhaps and a little longer?

naw the size of the file to attach was a bit limited

Little bump this side..


Anyone used this diagram? The series switch only works in middle position right?

Re: Triple shot,pickup and wiring questions

yea
if you dont have a second pickup the series/parallel is moot

Re: Triple shot,pickup and wiring questions

the phase too for that matter

Re: Triple shot,pickup and wiring questions

Great thanks Just battling to figure out the series push pull there, was thinking that it might be activated in any position.

Keen to try this out with P-Rails

Can't go wrong with the Pearly Gates.

The P-Rails is also a good choice for classic rock, especially with the use of the P-90.

Both work great in the Triple Shot rings.
