    Yeah the jack definitely unusable, but one of the knob fails too so might as well. That diagram really helps. I wasnt sure where the pickup should be soldered but that shows clearly where it goes.

    Yes i noticed the difference between b500k and a500k. but the prewired one have both. the only difference is volume pot tapers at the start and tonal is linear. but all in all switchable. did my research thanks to the people here :P Well i can go with both linear at least.

    You're right. I forgot about the pictures.Here's the picture of the "board"/wiring. And here's the picture of the pickup. The knob in the middle cant rotate. I dont think that's the volume knob but i cant remember. The knob on the left can't be pulled out at all. Yeah it needs some...
