How do i install a nordstrand mm 5.4 into my olp?

I bought the pickup to replace the stock pickup in my olp 5 string. It has two volume pots and one tone pot. I just want it wired up the same as the old one but the nordstrand has more wires. Does anyone know which colored wires go where?

FWIW:

identifying the leads and colors may help you get a response more than this.

HI

You should email Carey Norstrand. He is a member here on TB, also. He is kind, helpful, and will surely be able to help

That is very surprising, from whom did you buy the pickup?

Sorry, this one must have slipped throught the cracks...
On the neck coil volume pot connect the red wire to the lug and the green wire to the casing(ground). On the bridge coil volume pot connect the black wire to the lug and the white wire to the casing(gound). That should do it.
I'm writing this from memory from home though so I may be wrong. If that doesn't work please feel free to call the shop on Monday and we'll get it all sorted out for you.
Thanks,
Carey

PS. The wiring for this is just like a Jazz bass with two volumes. If you get confused about the rest of the connections just find a diagram on the internet for a Jazz bass and substite the colored wires as described above.
