Are all passive P basses wired the same way?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have an old Encore P bass and when I opened it up to replace a cracked pickguard 2 of the wires became detached from their pots. I’m not sure where they go back to. I can get a wiring diagram for a P bass from the Fender website, but are all passive P basses wired in the same way?

I’ve also discovered that Encore P bass dimensions are not quite the same as Fender as the pickguard will need quite a bit of modifying to fit. I’m tempted to try and glue the old one back together which will be less hassle.

You can hit Fender's Mr Gearhead website for wiring diagrams - and there are a number of variations on P-bass wiring. Whether you find one similar to yours is open to question.

An easy-to-understand standard wiring diagram can be found at the seymour duncan site

That's the clearest diagram I've seen, thanks. I'm rubbish with a soldering iron so I'm getting a friend to look at it tomorrow for me.
