MP: Ein Humbucker und ein geteilter Humbucker
Circuit MP1
Circuits with a normal and a split humbucker allow even more combinations. Here is the simplest one:
1. Bridge humbucker
2. Both in parallel
3. Neck humbucker (coils in series)
Switching functions
Electrical switching principle
Bass with flat Megaswitch T, three potentiometers
Wiring diagram with flat Megaswitch T
Bass with Megaswitch T rotary switch, three potentiometers
Connection of the rotary switch before installation
Wiring after installing the rotary switch

Circuit MP3
A Megaswitch M enables five different combinations with series and parallel connections:
1. Bridge humbucker coils in series
2. Bridge humbucker coils parallel
3. Both in parallel (coils in series)
4. Neck split humbucker, coils parallel
5. Neck split humbucker, coils in series
Switching functions
Electrical switching principle
Bass with Megaswitch M, two potentiometers
Wiring plan with Megaswitch M
Bass with Megaswitch M rotary switch, two potentiometers
Connection of the Megaswitch M before installation, first step: contacts on the top (A to L)
Connection of the Megaswitch M, after installation, second step: contacts on the underside (M to X). For the sake of clarity, the wires already connected in the first step are not shown here again.
Connections:
position
1 bridge humbucker coils in series
2 bridge humbucker coils in parallel
3 both in parallel (coils each in series)
4 neck coils in parallel
5 neck coils in series
connections
