    Does this sound feasible?

    So I've been thinking for a while now of upgrading the pickups on one of my Jazz Basses to DiMarzio Model Js, and decided to change out the circuit as well to take advantage of the series/parallel switching capabilities. I've got a spare Reggie Hamilton control plate lying around, so I have the...

    series/parallel with hum cancelling j pups

    Title basically says it... I’m interested in the series/parallel thing for jazz bass (I want to be able to get a more p-like sound if I want) but I’m wondering if that would still work with J pickups that are hum cancelling already. (specifically looking at the SD hot stack). I would also like...

    Wiring PJ bass with series/parallel for P and series/parallel between pickups?

    Hey TB, What I want to do on my PJ bass is to wire the P pickup with a series/parallel switch, and also wire a series/parallel switch for the P/J pickups in respect to each other. Does this make sense? While I would appreciate any tonal feedback you guys could give, this is much more for my own...

    Fender Starcaster Series/Parallel troubleshoot

    I just got this bass back together after doing the following wiring. It is supposed to be push/pull on volumes going series/parallel. I wired like the diagram shows. The only problem is that when I pull up on the volume pots, it completely mutes that pickup. When they pots are pushed down...

    Modifying Fender Jazz Elite with series/parallel

    I'm looking at getting a Fender Jazz Elite. I like that it has an active/passive switch. I would like to add series/parallel functionality. How difficult would it be to switch out the stock blend pot with a push/pull pot that would blend and also serve as a series/parallel switch?

    Pickup output question with series/parallel switch

    I just wired my PJ bass up with a push/pull pot for series/parallel wiring. When switching to series, my bridge pickup has no output while tapping on the pole pieces with a screwdriver. But, the split coil gets quite a bit louder as I expected. Is this how it works with series wiring? Does...

    Is series/parallel switch even worth it? Or it's just fine with EQ?

    Hi guys, still contemplating if series/parallel switch even worth it. Can we get the same result using EQ? What can we get using series/parallel switch which cannot be obtained using EQ? Pickup output & harmonics perhaps? Cheers! J

    Attenuating pickups to match series/parallel humbucker output
