diagram

I recently came across a cool mod that combines a series/parallel switch with a blower bypass switch on a Jazz Bass. The mod also makes the bass stereo-compatible, where the pickups can output to separate channels. Here’s the gear I’ll be using: 2x Bourns push/pull 250k pots CTS 250k pot...

wiring diagram

I have a Seymour-MM custom bass that was active but now has been converted to passive-only. This means I have 3 out of 4 knobs doing nothing on it at this moment. I wondered if I should wire 3 tone knobs, with 022, 047 and 0.1 caps respectively, in parallel. Should I do this am I correct to...

Does anybody have a diagram showing these dimensions to share? Or can you suggest a direct, lightweight replacement? Any help appreciated.

Hello, I'm onto a new project. Going for a thin jazz bass that will be cut in half and fully hollowed inside and glued back together Instead of a top. I'd be glad If anyone has a diagram of any brands regular 5 string 24 fret jazz bass body so I can play around with the design a little. Pdf...

I’m wanting to troubleshoot an amp before I have a tech take a look. I live in a smaller out that doesn’t have many amp techs (like two that I know of). My friend has an electronics diploma and was thinking he could take a look. Anyway, fully knowing the dangers and issues of solid state...

Sorry if I'm starting something that already exists, but here's what it's all about. I want to install a Dimarzio pickups and I want to connect them as follows. Pickups: each pickup coil split, series-parallel switch for both pickups on and phase switch for one pickup. Controls: blend, master...

I'm pretty new to bass and was given an old MIJ Ibanez Roadstar II 950 made in 1984 The bass worked briefly, but I noticed the knobs were loose (should have tightened them) one day the blend knob was only giving the neck pickup and turning it other way gives no volume whatsoever instead of the...

Could anyone point me to a diagram on how to wire my Squier dimension v passive with a serial/parallel/single coil switch.. please and thank you so much. I don't like the stock preamp all that much. Thank you in advance.

Hey TB, wiring up a new bass for the first time here & wondering if this diagram looks correct. I’m fairly certain it is but I have a couple questions: do I need to ground an SPDT switch that’s acting as a pickup selector? Can I add a cap & resistor across the center and outer lugs of a pot if...

Anyone could help me with this diagram? Active / passive switch Active mode: Master Volume Blend Bass Mid Treble Passive mode: Master Volume Blend Tone I don't know if Reggie Hamilton uses something similar (definitely no aguilar OBP3).

Hello! This is a continuation of my post coming from here: Magnets & Copper Wire: A Pickup Building Thread The TL: DR version: I'm trying to build a pickup that will have 6 modes of operation (reduced from 8+, due to my lack of wiring knowledge) using 3 push/pull (DPDT) pots. The 6 modes are...

I recently got an Invalid Link Removed, I've noticed it has what sounds like a ground hum. I've tried two different power supplies, running my bass DI, and using headphone amps. So I feel I've effectively narrowed down the bass. The hum remains if I touch the strings, or any of the metal. I...

I've been searching this site and the interwebs in general to get a grip on wiring up a 6 way 4 pole rotary switch for (3)x pickup selection. I think that I can come up with something that will work, but I'd sure like to find a wiring schematic to get me started. I've seen a few that I...

I have wondered what function exactly the 2 tubes of my EHX Black Finger, tube driven optical compressor has, and how the optical compression circuit is implemented in the circuit? I've managed to find this service diagram on the internet, so if anyone who can read such could translate it to me...

Hello everyone. I've looked at dozens of threads on this topic, and I've come close to getting the answer I need but I never feel 100% confident in the information I'm given. Here's what I want to do. I have a Yamaha TRBX605FM, and I'm upgrading the preamp to an Audere Classic 4 band preamp. I...

Own work from my own bass

Hello everyone. I just bought a mustang bass cij reissue. It supossed to have duncan design pickups. It is from 2007. I just wanted to put the wiring , the pots, the pickups and all as close as the original vintage mustang basses. Anyone can tell me this information? The wiring and the...

Hi, I have a MVP I am working on, the electronics were messed with before I got my hands on it. I'm not entirely sure what things are suppose to do. I am imagining volume, blend, treble, bass, pickup selector, active passive. Not entirely sure however why there would be a pickup selector and...

Hi! Is it possible to wire a passive dual humbucker bass this way (1 vol, 1 blend and 2 tone)? How can I do that? Thanks

I have a huge walnut tree that I just cut down, and thought I could use it for a bass build. I really like Fender’s Precision Special, and I would love to have a replica of the walnut version. I’m pretty good with small wiring and soldering, but I know the special has active electronics, but...

Hi All, I have a 1986 Aria Pro 2 RSB performer. I have had it gutted. A Friend of mine who works at PRS guitars and a designer and painter, painted this guitar for me at the PRS plant. It's a Silver, blue, black sunburst. Its beautiful. My issue is I need to purchase all the parts for the...

I am planning on rewiring my Chapman MLB1 FF DH and as it has 3 knobs I wanted to add some more functionality to it. After I drew the following diagram I realized something: If I have the blend pot and the Series/Parallel switch, will the blend pot in series mode simply work like a volume pot...

Greetings! I found this old pickup on an Quest Manhattan M-3BZ bass (I don't know if those are the originals) that I received as a gift and the pickup is a P bass with 6 cables. I soldered as you can see on the photos, but I want to know if someone can help me with a different diagram, so I can...

So heres the idea: Controls are Volume, Tone, Bass contour. Each of the controls will be on a push pull, allowing me to mute the selected pickups. There will also be a series-parallel switch for the bridge and middle pickup, as well as a 3-way switch to select normal operation, bypassing...

Hohner B2a Fl Wiring Diagram

I have a beater of a CT Bass that gets used in the studio from time to time. The active electronics were removed long ago and there's a nightmare of bad soldering in its place. I was hoping that someone might have either a wiring diagram or possibly a picture of how it's supposed to be hooked...

Is it just me or are the controls on the Jaguar Bass more complex than they probably need to be? Throw some pans (or a three-way) and some push-pulls on there and it would be closer to "normal."

I have exhausted myself trying to figure this out, and have brought my bass in to a local repair shop numerous times. I built a bass using a Music Man SMB 4A passive pickup and a SJB-3 pickup for the bridge (using 500k pots, 2V, 2T and 3 way switch). Both pickups sound great but they are not...

Hey all, I am looking for a second set of eyes on this wiring diagram. I'm going for a P/MM setup with a five-way rotary switch and can't quite find anything like it. Any feedback would be appreciated. My main concern is the taking pickups out of the loop - whether to ground the positive wire or...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had a Ripper II bass that they didn’t mind taking a picture of the wiring for me. I have a set of the Seymour Duncan Ripper pickups that were made for these basses but have only been able to find the original wiring diagram with the 4 position switch. The...

It seems like the perfect marriage. If I could just find a Wiring diagram for musicman style pickup with Jazz bass pickup, I tried simply replacing jazz bass p’up with MM and it was out of phase and the humbucker is much louder. Not sure if I should just reverse the coil wiring direction on one...

I have a Bacchus W series (J style) with the push-pull 'turbo' tone control that puts the pickups in and out of parallel. I was fooling around trying to switch out the stock pickups for some Fenders I had laying around. I pulled the neck p/u, only to find the Fender was a bit long for the slot...

Who here uses a computer to create stuff like schematics, wiring guides, network plans or even rack builds? I used Visio in the past, but maybe there’s a better option? What is good? Cheers

Tried looking at the FAQ but didn't find anything related. Is there some guide somewhere for dummies? I have a P/J set, a soldering iron, the diagram, and no idea where to start. The diagram doesn't remotely resemble the current wiring on the pots and pickups...

Hi, I know there are plenty of PJ wiring diagrams about, but I'd like to know how these Squier PJs are wired. Unusually, there are three wires coming from the Jack output, hot, and they are each wired to one lug on each pot, (white Vol 1, yellow Vol 2, red Tone), I haven't ever seen this on a PJ...

Hi all :) I've got a nice wiring kit through the post today for my project P bass, and this is the wiring diagram that came with it Noticed there is no bridge earth as there often is, is this required with the cloth covered wire etc? I am handy with a soldering iron etc but this is the...

Anyone have a diagram for how to wire this, would like a .47 and a .33 cap to choose between

I have a Eastwood Magnum Bass and need a diagram that matches its config: 1 neck humbucker 1 bridge single-coil 2 volume 2 tone 3-way toggle switch I am replacing the pickups and tore out the old hardware without taking a picture first, stupidly assuming I could easily find a diagram online...

Hi everyone, newbie to the forum here. I'm refinishing a Spector bass for a fellow musician. I was hoping any of you could help me with finding a wiring diagram for a Spector NS 2002B. I believe that's the correct model number. It has 4 controls and two EMG-SSD pups and is a passive circuit. I...
