Bridge Ground question

Sign in to disble this ad
I decided to swap out the pickups/bridge and two noisy pots on an old Brownsville P/J. Unfortunately, the picture I took of the wiring that shows the Bridge Ground was too blurry to show where the bridge ground gets soldered. (I'm putting in a new Schaller bridge as well). I'm suspecting that the BG was on the bottom of the 3rd pot (J-Bass Volume) and came off when I removed the J-Bass pup wire. It can probably get coneected to any pot, but I just thought I'd ask here first.

The instructions that came with the Pickups (EMG Select P/J) does not show the wiring for 4 Pots (V-T-V-T) and does not show the Bridge Ground at all.

If anyone here can help (this is my first attempt ever at this), that would be great. Also, if anyone has a wiring diagram for P/J with 4 pots that would certainly be appreciated as well.

Ack

I'm putting a new bridge on a blank body and plan to solder the bridge earth(ground) directly to the earth lug of the jack socket
