I have a question about wiring bass humbuckers... I have a set of Bill Lawrence EB50 pickups and am wondering about the best way to wire them up. My current thinking is to wire them like a Jazz bass with VVT controls and no selector switch. I *think* that's also the way T-birds are wired, although I think some have a selector switch and others don't. No big deal to roll off the volume on the pup you don't want rather than use a switch, I figure. Most mfgs where I have been able to find a wiring diagram seem to wire 2-pickup, 2-volume control basses so that the volumes are independent. that's true with Rics, and with my G&L...
So two questions...
If I wire it like a Jazz is there any reason I would need a selector switch for the pups? Some basses seem to have them and some don't. Wondering if there is any sonic advantage to one or the other.
I am also curious whether anyone uses "Les Paul" wiring in a bass? Is there any reason to either do, or not do, this with a bass? Even the Rics with 2V2T controls seem *not* to do this, and am I wondering why?
