Hey guys,
Is there any reason that it won't work properly and/or sound good if I wired active pickups which have solo/blower switches? Meaning they would cut out any electronics between the pickup and jack for a higher output. I'm thinking since I have two push/pull pots to have one pot act as a solo switch for the bridge pickup and one for the neck. Does anyone have experience with this, or any input?
I'm working on rewiring a Schecter Diamond C-1 FR for a friend of mine. It has Duncan Designed HB105's in it, and the person who owned it before messed with the wiring a lot and it was a real mess in there. We decided to just start over. It had push/pull pots in there already, so I ordered some more. I didn't check before ordering the pots, however, to see if they were 2 or 4 conductor. So I went to wire it today and realized I can't do coil taps like we had planned on. Before exchanging the new push/pull pots I bought to replace the old ones for normal 25k pots, we are just running our options as what we may be able to do with the push/pulls first. I have never owned a guitar with active pickups, so I am not sure if certain mods will work the same or well with actives as they do passives.
Thanks!
