On a related note:Did some modding this weekend:
1. Installed the 2502n. Neck pickup sounded bad in parallel (too weak) so I reversed it to make the bridge be the parallel position. Sounds phenomenal.
I took a while cleaning up and tweaking my Player Jaguar (turns out it was made in 2022; no idea how previous owner got it this grotty in two years...) I've put a Dimarzio Cruiser Bridge pickup in the neck position and kept the stock Shawbucker in the bridge, but rewired the coil tap to a series/parallel switch to get noise-cancelling.
Lately I've been playing around with a Fuzz Face-derived pedal and noticed that in parallel setting things get significantly louder and brighter than in serial. The old transistor input impedance voodoo at work... The (series) cruiser sounds somewhere in between; a bit darker but not totally lost.
I think I get why doom kids like P90s now! And would certainly consider ensuring all humbucking guitars have some kind of low-impedence configuration to play nicely with low-input-impedence pedals.
