What is a quick way to make a humbucker sound like a single coil pickup for doing sessions?
I ve found the easiest way to convert your standard humbucker to a single coil sound (if you don t have any coil splitting switches) is to remove one row of adjustable poles in your pickup. By removing the adjustable poles you are using only the stud side of a typical humbucker. You actually have a stronger magnetic field on the stud side of the pickup than the adjustable side using 5/40 x 3/4 long fillister head screws. You can easily put them back in when your done the session. Make sure you don t use a screw driver wider than the screw head as you could burr or scrape the bobbin.
