Pickup wiring help for P-J setup

Sign in to disble this ad
Here's the deal. I have an SR600 Ibanez with active preamps and a P-J setup. I swapped the stock pickups for DiMarzio's Split P and Fender-Lace Sensor Jazz Bridge Pickup. I have problems with a volume drop when the pickups are blended 50:50. This is the wiring diagram I got from ibanez.com



How do I wire the two pickups to the pots? I'm new to electronics and I would like to do it myself without the help of a tech.

The Split P has Red wire which is HOT and Green wire as GROUND. Where do they go to? The J pup has a Red, White and Green wire. Not sure which is which though.

Any help would be kindly appreciated. Thanks guys.

The black wires on that picture are the grounds. Im a bit confused to the 3 core J tho, i thought pickups always had either 2 or 4 leads out.

Have you already put the pickups in, and the only problem is a volume drop when they are centered?

If its a very slight volume drop, thats normal, it happens to my PJ when both pickups are on full.

If its a really big volume drop, then you've wired them out of phase, on the pot for one of them, just swap the hot and ground around.

The hot always goes to the centre tap out of the 3 there are on a pot.

Hope that helps?
