The Pickup Place / DP182 Bridge, DP184 Neck; what for middle?

« on: November 13, 2015, 03:58:05 AM »

I have the config in title, with a Fender factory single coil in the middle position. I mainly play alternative rock. Should I leave it like that, or think about another pup to complete the setup? I have rosewood fretboard. Thanks.

The Pickup Place / Fast track 2 (br) + middle single coil=hum?

« on: September 22, 2015, 01:17:48 PM »

I just noticed I get hum when the selector is on position 2, namely Fast track 2 (br) + middle single coil. Is it a normal thing or there's possibly something wrong in the connections? Thanks

The Pickup Place / '91 American Std Strat; bridge Fast Track II, neck Chopper?

« on: September 06, 2015, 05:28:23 AM »

Hi all,

I am new to the forum so I hope I can learn a lot of things from you. I have a '91 American Strat; at the bridge position, I have a Fast Track II, neck and middle are the factory single coils. I also have two push/pull 250k pots, one for the volume (now it splits the FTII) and one for the neck tone (now it activates neck pickup). Bridge/middle tone is Fender TBX system. The plan is to add a Chopper in the neck position. My plan is to remove the splitting on the Fast Track since I don't like the sound when split, and rather use the pp for series/parallel sound. I'd love to do the same eventually for the upcoming Chopper, but I'd also like to keep the neck activation together with the bridge PU. Would it be possible with what I have at the moment? How should it be wired. If you have suggestions on pickup choice I'd gladly hear those too. I mainly play grunge, punk, hard rock and some more metalish stuff.

Thanks again to those willing to help!
