what wire goes where problem

[YZZ]

Hey, some time ago i bought a used eagle bass for a low cost.

The previous owner had been mixing with the wires for som reason and now i need som help to put the wires in the right places.

Okay, I got it working but the volume is reduced.

The pot only reacts the last halv i can turn it.

could the pot be broken or something?

I suppose you mean a Nordstrand dual coil pup?...it is a DC. Check Nordstrand website:
http://x.nordstrandpickups.com/viewtopic.php?t=276

That pup is wired wrong, or useless. Right now it's connected as a single coil.

1st coil:
Black = +
White = -

2nd coil:
Red = +
Green = -

For Parallel:
black and red = +
White and Green to ground

For Serie:

black +
red and White soldered together and isolated
Green to ground

Shielding (bare wire) to ground

Either way, MM or DC both are dualcoil and they have the same color scheme.
Not knowing what is the pre, I can't help with the wiring. Sorry.
Try and you'll see.
