Finally finished installing a pair of quadraphonic bass pickups (my "plus" series) in my Epi rock bass. It has 16 switches. Each pickup can be sent to either a multi-pin output for separate processing or get summed to a 1/4" mono out. If only one or the other output is being used, the switch acts as an on/off instead of either/or. That takes care of 8 of the switches. The pickups are humbuckers, with coil taps. Each string's pickup can be set to single coil or humbucker. That's the other 8 switches.
Here's a little demo, in four sections, each under a minute long. The first section is with neck single for all four strings (for the demo, I did all strings the same... there are too many possible combinations otherwise). The second is neck humbucker. The third, bridge single; and the fourth, bridge humbucker.
I didn't do a demo with both bridge and neck on.
The recording is of the summed, mono signal only. At some point I'll do one in quad. The amp is a Yorkville Bassmaster 200, and the mic is an RE-20.
No noise reduction, no EQ, no processing except normalizing the track as a whole.

four for neck, quad vs. mono

The demo was all mono. ~40 second sections: 1.NS 2.NH 3.BS 4.BH
The pic is kinda dark, but there's not much to see, really. A bunch of switches.
