Hi there
first time poster, would really appreciate some experienced minds with this one!
I brought a second hand Mushok SE Baritone recently, fitted out with Bare Knuckle Pickups Painkiller humbuckers - look horrendous but sound great.
For a bit of extra flexibility I thought I'd drop in a push/pull coil split in the tone and add a 600v 22uf Orange Drop cap at the same time,
Only problem is, when rewiring the 3 blade switch as per BKP schematics (seen here) The three positions then didn't work, but in between the points (when slowly flipping the switch from 1-2, 2-3 positions) did work (sounded like both PU's were on).
So I figured maybe the PRS switch had a different layout and rewired to how it was previously - and now only the neck PU position is working, nothing in the middle position, nothing at bridge, and nothing in between.
Really not sure whats happened here. I've ordered a replacement switch from Axetec and will follow their schematics for the switch wiring, but has anyone any idea what the issues was? Fingers crossed the replacement will work, but surprised I couldn't find any schematics for the Mushok or the PRS switch?
thanks all
Joel
*edit* I should probably post what the original wiring was on the switch;
(from top to bottom)
1 - blank
2 - Kneck PU, bridged to 3
4 - bridged to 5
5 - to volume pot
6 - bridged to 7,
7 - Bridge PU
8 - blank
