MEC soapbars with Aguilar OBP-3

[bassmahn]

Is there anyone here that has made this conversion?


I have all of the wiring figured out, but I am not sure what to do with the red wires coming from the pickups to the pre-amp module.
I have found it quite difficult to find any reference material that actually say what this wire is. I understand that white purple black go to this pot, and green red go here and etc...
If anyone knows where I can find some techy geeky materials on the subject I would praise their name on high!

I posted on Warwicks forums and a kind person stated that it is a power lead for active pickups...

SO, unless I am missing something, I did not see any termination leads stated "pick up power" on the OBP module...
Can anybody here shed some light on this for me?
Are the MEC's compatible with this pre-amp?

Any help will be totally sweet and I will appreciate it!

The power lead for the MEC active pups gets soldered to a 9v power source (your battery). It should connect to the red (positive) lead from your bettery clip. It would be fine to connect it to the same place your pre amp connects to the positve lead from the battery.

You can see below (different to your bass and pre amp I know) that the red positive power lead (PICKUP BATTERY LEADS) from the pickups gets connected right next to the 9v battery's positive lead. They are actually connected on the PCB, and it would be fine for you to solder them to the same connection as the battery's positive lead.

Good luck with the wiring.
