Help! ASS wiring question?

[tommyk]

hi,

ive heard that splitting the neck pickup on an ASS to soley the outer coil gives a good single coil sound and want to try it before sticking a Seymour Duncan Phat cat in and was wondering how you you alter the wiring to do so....... its quite straight forward apparently....?

thanks,

Tommy.

Some humbuckers sound better than others when split. The Axis p'ups are ok. Keep in mind it'll be noisy as it's not noise canceling on it's own.

In terms of wiring, it's pretty straight forward. There's a green wire that grounds the black & white wires from the neck p'up when in position 2. You also need to wire that green wire to do the same thing in position 5. (On that part of the switch, the 5 lug is right next to the common lug, so just jumper the two lugs.)

Have a look at the schematics and you should see it. If you get stuck, just bump the thread or send me a PM and I can help you out.

I love my modded ASS with Phat cat almost straty tone and no noise
