[/quote]Thanks, yes that is what i am after. I have heard that series wiring will give me a fatter sound but what i would like to know is how will the resulting sound differ from the sound of the p pickup soloed? Will i have more highs than when i solo the p pickup due to the j pickup also being permanently on or will all the pickups being in series further reduce the highs due to the two coils of the p pickup plus the single coil of the j pickup all being in series ?

dannybuoy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 All pickups in series would give you a louder, darker sound than parallel; I assume it would also be louder and darker than the solo P but not sure... Sounds like you haven't heard a series PJ in action even though you want a setup with it wired permanently in this configuration. Perhaps switchable series/parallel wouldn't be such a bad idea after all! If you happen to have a store nearby that has an American Standard Jaguar Bass you can try out (e.g. Wunjos), that has series/parallel switching so you can at least see if it's for you.
