So, how good would the 2,4 positions be, with norton bridge, cruiser mid and 36th neck wired without splits, so all humbuckers? Is it possible with a standard 5way switch to wire norton and 36th so that they go in parallel mode and combined with cruiser in positions 2 and 4?

I know, but i think there is a problem with positions 2 and 4 if you want hum cancelling split sound. Does anybody know more about this?

How do you wire area or cruiser pickup in mid? I heard you need a super/mega switch in order to remove hum in all positions... does anybody have a wiring diagram maybe?

Hi guys!

I'm having trouble figuring out which pickups would fit best in my Ibanez rg 970 premium. It has a basswood body with maple top and a wenge neck with bubinga stripes and rosewood fretboard. I'm playing mainly fusion jazz styles, funk, rock and I don't care about high gain too much, but still looking for versatility. Through web research I kinda got a feeling what i want and I believe that AT-1 bridge and 36th paf neck would be a good combo for me. Does anyone know maybe how would these two behave in this wood combo? Also I have no idea what mid pickup should use with these, I want to avoid drastic volume drop and hum but retain good straty guthrie like sounds for funk and leads in positions 2,3 and 4. I was thinking maybe a true velvet or vv54pro, or maybe even cruiser, but i don't know how are it's split sounds. I'm also open to other suggestions for the bridge/neck combo for my style and guitar. I had an air norton neck pup in my previous ibanez rg, but i didn't like it's character.

Thank you for your help!
