Here is an illustration I mocked up some years ago.

Imagine the plane across the face of the body (the lower blue line) and the plane going across the neck (upper blue line).

These two should be parallel. If the two blue lines start heading toward each other on the right ...

Yes...you can thin out the sound somewhat by making one pickup out of phase with the other.

Fender got a similar effect on the Jaguar by simply introducing a .003 mf capacitor between the choke switch and ground.



Thanks, now I understand why this feature is on the 481 and not the 480 : I guess ...

Hi,

Would there be any thing to be gained by adding a phase switch to a 480 with high gains ?
I'd rather ask before doing something stupid...thanks.
