Schematic wiring for Ric Humbuckers

Guys, I'm guessing English is not Toby's native language....

hi,

let me first say that as an Englishman English is very much my first language.

Maybe i'm being too sensitive but i found the tone of Werner/wildberry's reply pretty unpleasant. I thought it was my fault for adding my question to an existing question so i started a new one but i got castigated for that as well :/ i know forums each have their own delicate etiquette and one attempts to adhere to them, if not always successfully.

Perhaps if i show a picture of what the cable on my HB1 looks like you'll see that being told to change the green and blue wires didn't make a lot of sense since it looks like just one wire and one shield...



Stripping it back i see that the other wire and the shield had been bound and soldered together so i separated them.



I reversed the phase and now it sounds good.

Thanks all.

You're welcome Anyway, it wasn't meant rude, more as 2 eurocents that starting a thread wouldn't be a good idea.

Can't say I warned you! Come-on, see it with a bit of the great humour you brits have, we're trying to help here, eh!

And I wasn't trying to denigrate, but explain to all a possible reason for your confusion. In the other thread, I answered your question about swapping them short and sweet to try to make it clear. I like the video you did showing all the tones you can get with this configuration - a lot! That ought to keep you going for a while.

all is good. thanks for all the help.

Maybe the problem really was the fact that we didn't speak British.

I like to call the two English and Americanish.
