Need Help Wiring P-Bass PUP

[that one guy]

hi all,

did a search and could find anything specific to the p-bass configuration....

anyway, i just traded a basslines pick up for a bartolini pick up. the qaurter pounder that i swapped out had the standard passive p-bass wiring:

1 white (hot)
1 black (ground)


the bart that i have now has a total of 5 leads coming out of it:

1 red
1 green
1 white
2 black

i'm assuming that if i used a toggle switch, that i would be able to switch between series & parellel.

can anybody shed some light on what type of switch to get and how to wire these for max versitality?

thanks in advance.

You'll need a 2 way on/on toggle. As for wiring...if memory serves... you have to do a crisscross(X) jump jammie on the poles.

I have my MIM P-bass wired this way. The pickup is a DiMarzio DP146, two leads for each pickup half. Four leads total. Dunno about your 5th wire... contact Bart.

thanks for the replies everybody.

the diagram was all i needed!

as for the 5th wire, maybe it's not needed, as it was cut way shorter then the rest when i recieved this pick up. i'll wire it up and experiment to see what results are available.

thanks again!
