[Mr. S]

for shits and giggles this weekend i've decided that whilst im putting my new EVO in my UV im also going to throw the Blaze in my 7321 but since ive got a spare PAF and Blaze Single i thought i'd try them out in there as well, now it'll look pretty stupid with the single in the Humbucker cavity and even more so because the bridge will be neon green and the neck will be cream coloured

but im just curious as to what it'll sound like because i know that the Blaze7 singles aren't voiced like your regular SC, but hey its worth a shot just to hear what it sounds like...

anyway does anyone have a wiring diagram for a S-H configuration? the thing that'll get confusing here is the 5 way switch, i doubt theres any diagrams for S-H setups with a 5 way switch so i was thinking something like this

Pos 1:Bridge
Pos 2:Split Bridge
Pos 3:Bridge & SC
Pos 4:use as a kill switch maybe? or wire it up to be the same as 5
Pos 5:SC neck

anyway any help would be awesome as im good at following the instructions or doing things ive done before but figuring new stuff out with electronics is beyond me

Seymour Duncan has shedloads of wiring diagrams, and will cover what you need. Wiring Diagrams - Seymour Duncan/Basslines

To decode the Duncan diagrams into Dimarzio, use this

using the stock 5-way in your 7321? you won't find any H-S diagrams for that switch because it's not a normal 5-way--it's the special Ibanez 5-way for use with two humbuckers (see several recent threads in this forum). so you'll be on your own to figure out something cool.

actually, using your 7321 switch, if you follow the Ibanez RG7620 wiring diagram with the bridge pickup, then wire the single-coil hot in place of the neck pickup hot, you might actually get all of these positions except #4. give it a shot and see what happens.

sounds like a good plan too, cheers guys

if you want to spens a couple bucks i used a 4-Way tele mod switch in my tele which is S-H also and its wired:

1: Bridge (full hum)
2: Bridge tap
3: Bridge tap + Neck
4: Neck

[Mr. S]

right, it seems to have worked

the way its ended up being wired is:

Pos 1:Bridge
Pos 2:Split Bridge
Pos 3:Bridge & SC
Pos 4:SC neck
Pos 5:SC neck

and i must say, i actually prefer the Blaze single as a neck pickup over the middle position in my UV anyway.

a quick picture off my phone, it still looks retarded but not as bad as i thought it would look, i may get a pickguard made for this to obscure the horrible looking cavity
