Installing an Aggie OBP3 with Roscoe barts question

Hey guys just need a bit of advice with wiring up my new OBP3 to my Roscoe Barts (SKB3006)

Its pretty much all wired up except I am not sure where to solder the ground wires for the pickups? The OBP3 wiring diagram just gives the wiring for the 'hot' wires going to the blend pot.

Do the pickup grounds just go to the common cavity ground then?


Thanks guys

Mike

No Problem will do! Just so you know I am going from an Audere (Roscoe version) to the Aggie to add some aggressio to my SKB. If its not enough I plan to drop some Nordstrand Singles next!

Don't put that Aguilar preamp in your Roscoe, it will cause it to STANK!

Only pair a Demeter with Roscoe Barts.

No doubt that an Aguilar preamp in a fretless sounds awesome.
