I've paired some bartolini p25cbc pickups with a tone monster sbk-3a preamp/eq. As a forward this is a custom bass with no previous electronics. I'm having trouble understanding what to wire into the terminals on the preamp coming from the pickups. It's a 4 conductor pickup with one black...

I measured it out to be a little over 73 mm so I think it should work out.
