Question Wiring help

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi Guys

I'm new here so please go gentle!

I need some help on wiring a bass I'm building - I can build em OK it's the wiring that always throws me!!

Basically it's a musicman 5 style custom with a CARVIN HB5 and a locally made (OZ) large pole single coil connected via a 3 way tele switch and 3 band guitar fetish preamp (no volume pot).

The preamp has been prewired and everything is ready to go. I've done a drawing of the system I just need a hand in connecting the dots (wires!) to the switch. Basically I want the switch to give me the single coil only at neck then middle both HB and SC and finally at bridge HB only.

Can anybody help with the final connect up so I can get this baby working?

ps. I chose the 3 way to make life simple however if anybody has a better connect with a 5 way ie alternate sounds let me know.

Thanks Heaps Fellas.

ok take all the negative wires those all get connected to the jack. then the positives get connected to the terminals of the switch. The point is to see wut completes the circuit. It is hard to tell you really wut to do because I can't see it. But just think it out. You want the circuit to be complete when you switch it to the different settings. It maybe if you cant do wut u want that the switch is not compatible with ur goAL so just think it out. Or post a picture so i can see
