P-Rails in a Sub?

[salzr]

Anyone here thrown some of the Duncan P-Rails into a Sub1? I'm debating giving it a try since MF bungled my last order and I've got a standing 20% coupon.

If anyone has done it, did the push-pull pots cause any clearance problems? How'd you wire it up? How'd it sound??

Thanks!

Never tried them, have to admit I love the bridge humbucker in my Sub.
It definetly has character and its own sound that guitar!

You might consider putting in a 3-way mini-toggle for that pickup. That gives you the Series, Parallel, Split (split would be either P-90 or SC) without having to remove any of the stock Music Man circuit. To do this, just route the P-Rail through the Mini-Toggle and then over to the 3-way toggle.

I've got a Dimarzio Morse neck pickup for my sub, could I do similar thing?
or is that exclusive to P-Rail?

You can do that to any humbucker that has a 4-conductor cable from it.

Thanks.... I was thinking of doing the push-pulls so I wouldn't need to put any more holes in the pickguard. I'm also trying to make sure I can use all of the features of the p-rails.... single coil/p90/humbucker. These things have so many options...

Anybody put one in any other 'ball?

my previous idea was to use a pushpull tone pot and wire it up like a PRS McCarty to use the outer coils only. YOu could use the inner coils or use two pp pots and get both inners and outers or variations.
like McCarty

I actually picked up a push pull pot and checked it for depth and it will fit nicely in a sub1 control cavity.
