single coil for HSH guitar
« on: May 15, 2005, 09:44:58 PM »
Hello,

I wrote to Tim off course but I would like to have your opinion.
I would need a single coil to go between a Nailbomb bridge and Riff Raff neck. In order to keep the #2 / #3 / #4 pos strat sound.
Do you have an idea?

I would put in an Irish Tour for a nice strat sound.  I have Trilogies with my H/S/S Nailbomb set, but I wasn't looking for a real Straty sound, I was looking for more of a Jackson mid range push.  I know the standard single coil shipped with the Nailbomb is the Irish Tour.  I also think it will go well with the Riff Raff.  I have a set of Irish Tours and they shound great.

Depending which coils you are using, you probably will have to get RWRP if you want hum canceling in the combined 2 & 4 setting.  Another option, if you really want to hve a Strat sound, is to use the super switch (4 pole 5 way), that Tim sells and wire it for Nailbomb/screw coil NB/Irish Tour/screw coil Riff Raff/Riff Raff.  This would give you the classic strat sounds + 2 HB sounds.

Cheers
