This what i refer to as "mixing board" type wiring - two or more pickups with individual volumes, wired in parallel to the jack. use on-off volume pots to get a single pickup. tone, phase, parallel (on humbuckers), and coil spilt can be added for each pickup. master tone and volume can be added just upstream of the jack. But these days I tend to keep it simple - a hot passive quadrail at the bridge, wired directly to the jack, with no controls whatsoever, and an EQ at the front of the pedal chain.
Mixing board wiring! I love that. And I agree with the pedal chain EQ. In the event of too much high end, I don't use the tone knob, I reduce treble on a pedal or amp anyway.
Interesting. Had never heard of passive bass cut. Been meaning to try some no load tone pots, but having no tones just makes the wiring so easy that I keep doing it!
@@guitarscience6926 I believe the bass cut was invented by Leo Fender, it's in the G@L guitars. It works like a second volume wired like a treble bleed, only differents is that the last lug on the pot is not grounded
@@justinpaquette224 Ah ok. Yeah I remember hearing about the wiring mod on G&Ls but I could never remember exactly what it was. One of the few production guitars I still want to own is a Comanche.
@@guitarscience6926 There is another G&L control that used a dual action pot that in the middle is neutral and the one way is a treble cut and trun it the other war for bass cut

Please post a link for that screw kit you showed us in this video.
Have you heard of a passive bass cut control? I have them on a few of my guitars and find them very useful. I also really like no-load tone pots

Interesting, I think in clean it is something like p90s with a touch of cream
Yeah they do have a bit of a p90 vibe. High output but still a good high end sparkle.
