Thanks all. One more question on this wiring diagram that came with the pups: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The gray wires go to ground but it seems the black wires... also go to ground? Is there a reason they're drawn separately or can they all be wired together?

I just got a set of Aguilar DCB D2 pickups and I was expecting one neck pickup and one bridge pickup, but they're totally indistinguishable from a glance and they didn't come with any labeling or anything. Is there a difference or are both pickups the same?

Hi all, In my SR506 I've installed a custom preamp (Aguilar OBP-3), but the stock pickups (Bartolini MK-1's) are still there. I've got a GC gift card burning a hole in my pocket so I'm trying to see if it's feasible to replace the stock pickups with Aguilar DCB's. Currently my bass is setup...
