At some point Leo had done some work on this concept and we've started it up again. We used five S-500 pickups, with two pairs configured as humbuckers. The five-way does the usual thing, the mini-toggle does series/split/parallel of the "humbuckers" (G&L bass fans know this as K-wiring on an L-2000) and a push/pull pot does the pickup expansion duty as the mini-toggle would normally do on an S-500. PTB system is standard S-500, at least so far. We're using the outside coils on the split and got some pretty authentic S-500 tones. I think we counted 19 combinations, though quantity isn't important, quality is. And yeah, that's a lot of screws, but R&D ain't supposed to be pretty. We happened to have this Greenburst S-500 around so we decided she'll do. Didn't mean to be all fancy about it. ; )
