favorite Pickup sounds/switching!?

[vejiita]

On a two humbucker guitar.. besides the full neck/bridge sound in series.. what other sounds/switching do you guys use alot?

[MDV]

5 - bridge series
4 - bridge split
3- bridge neck parallel
2- neck split
1 - neck series
5+PP out - bridge paralel
1+PP out - Neck parralel out of phase

Thats the switching on my main guitar. My other 2 HB guitars are Ibanez RG standard format (forget what that is now, but its got splits and paralels in there somewhere, I just use bridge and neck on that one) and normal 3 way.

Also notable - my HSS guitars are all wired so that pos 4 is the two singles in series (one is RPRW, so that makes a really unique humbucker sound, and one isnt, so that makes a HUGE single tone (especially as its with uber trilogies)

I like a pair of humbuckers wired out of phase with each other, for that Peter Green-ish sound in the middle position.  My first decent guitar was a Hamer, and they used to do that wiring as standard (maybe still do, I don't know).

I also like a wiring with a 5-way superswitch to give the inner coils in parallel and outer coils in parallel (in positions 2 and 4).  So it gives some Strat- and Tele-like sounds but stays hum-cancelling in all positions, if everything's wired the right way round.

my latest experiments (since I'm not final on my decision yet) is having the bridge on more or less full, and just blending in a little neck pup to give the sound more low-end/body (I play 2nd guitar).
I specifically chose to have 3 volume controls, so that's 3 times as loud as normal, right!? :lol:

And on my 7. Single coil-y sounds I only use for a few things really, mostly still use full bridge or neck for solos n' use the others for a bit more gentle clean stuff once in a blue moon.
Cleans are damn good on Warpigs I think, should probably use em more often.
