Jazz Bass pickup ground wiring question....

[TK4261]

I just received my pre-wired Aquilar OBP-2 Bass preamp from BestBassGear for my Warmoth Jazz build and I'll be matching it up with a set of Nordstrand NJ4's. I've wired up passive electronics before with regular CTS pots but never with a pre-wired preamp, I'm curious on where to connect the ground wires from the pickups for this setup.

Controls: Volume(pull for passive), Blend knob & Stacked Treble/Bass...


I know the hot/positive connection from the pickups get soldered onto the blend pot.


My question is, Does the ground from the pickups and bridge ground get soldered to the ground wire coming off the input jack?


Doesn't show on the Aguilar wiring diagram for where to connect pickup ground or bridge ground.

Any help would be much appreciated

You posted the same topic on the Warmoth board.

It doesn't matter how you ground things, as long as they are grounded properly.

You are both correct in this matter. In this case the most convenient place to attach ground wires of the pickups and bridge is the black wire from the jack. Ultimately all grounded components comprise an entire grounded system. Any specific grounding strategy non-withstanding, exactly where everything is tied together to accomplish this is inconsequential. Any way all grounds can all be put together is really fine.
