Hot rodding Humbucker with 6 leads need advice
Hi all!
I'm looking for some specific hot rodding advice:

I had a broken humbucker and I gave it 6 leads , start and stop for each coil and a ground for each coil. I don't know how to determine the magnetism or the direction of the winding. I have a multimeter, but not sure how to use it. I am skilled at soldering.
Now I'd Like to start hot rodding it, but I'm not sure what to do.

I'd like to take advantage of all these leads, but don't want to use push-pots. I only have one humbucker and I'd like it to have a bunch of options for a bass including

-Phase-shifting
-Coil-split (cut)
-Series-Parallel switch

Any suggestions or diagrams?

It's pretty hard to absolutely check the phase on these without an oscilloscope. However, if you can temporarily wire it up, you can easily hear the difference. In phase, the lows will be emphasized, out of phase, you'll get lots of top end. Ideally you can wire a phase reversal switch in there.

Will this help?
