If you could add one switch in a two pick-up guitar, what would it be?

series is pretty awesome...
series and out of phase is really cool, but that takes two switches.

My coil-swap mod can be pretty cool too. It puts the screw coil of the neck with the stud coil of the bridge, and vice-versa.

Coil tap would be cool.

you cant exactly do that with a switch dude. lawl

A Vari-Tone or similar device. Six might be overboard. Maybe 3 or 4 positions.

Can I have a switch that makes me play better?

With passive electronics, you cannot add something that is not there. All a passive "goodness" control is is a "suck bleed" control. So you cannot make yourself better on an absolute level. You can just make yourself less bad by bleeding of some suckage to ground, which makes you seem better on a relative level.

All of a sudden, the purpose of active electronics becomes so abundantly clear - I'm really Zakk Wylde aren't I?

Chris, according to Itsabass's logic, I guess you need an active/passive goodness control, so that suckage bleeds off to ground, and goodness goes to the amp. Gives you more of what you have, and less of what you don't want.

I like your thinking, but anyway, I've derailed this thread long enough now.
I'd go for an option that thickens up a standard humbucker sound. Kind of like what my PRS 513 does on its second selector when it's pushed fully back. I'm not too sure what that option is, especially as they're not really humbuckers on the anyway.

id go series. i have a guitar with a phase switch and i dont use it very often. i use series on my tele quite a bit. sounds awesome for a fat barky tone

Killswitch.
Or Series/Parallel...

+1. Coil swap mod is the way to go! Better than coil cut and parallel. It's a reduced volume option, but noise-free and not as neutered-sounding as parallel. The tone is softened, and not so sharp and piercing.

coil cut is all i need in a two hummer axe

Series/parallel. that way you can get decent cleans out of a mid/high gain pup in the neck.
