hehe just annoyed cos its a really cool idea, but i dont get the wiring...that dimarzio site heped alot actually thanks, as the MB is effectively just 2 HBs in the same case, i used the wirindg diagram for H x H on a 5 way switch! i think if i could work out which lugs on the switch do what, then i could adapt that design quite easily! the "both" position is sorted...although i dont know whether its in series or parellel on the diagram....do you know? would i put the switch in between the selector and the pickup? actually the switch has confused me...i know how to wire it in series, just solder the first 2 ends (green/red) together and tape off...but how do i simulate that in a switch?

after that, i have the bridge one, thats totally fine on its own, next the neck side of the bridge hotrail,well thats almost the same as the the 2 inside coils it has in the diagram, just leave out the neck position.

the 2 necks out of phase...would be...the same as in ther diagram, only i switch the red and green leads to change the polarity?

the last one! for this, same as the one for the outside coils, only remove the connections for the back HB?

hope that all makes sense? all i need now, is just the positions of the selector and how to wire the switch!

oh one final question:

http://www.dimarzio.com/Text/Wiring/TwoHumbuckers5WayMultiple.pdf

the dimarzio switch used there....is that the same as a 5 way super switch? looks it, but i cant really tell :confused:


cheers for the help btw, you dont know how much easier this was thanks to you :D
