wiring diagrams

(I realize this is probably a dumb question, but I know next to nothing about electronics nor do I know how to solder, so please try to bear with me...) So, I was looking at some wiring diagrams out of curiosity and noticed how on all of them the ground wires are soldered to the backs of the...

Hello everyone; dear friends: I recently acquired a Washburn Bantam XB-500 5-string bass with no wires connected to the potentiometers inside the body. I'm asking for your kind help. The bass is already restored and partially finished. But I can't continue with the remaining part (The...

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...

I installed the new EMG GZR pickup set (tone pots and mono jack and all ), and it works perfectly. It has an intermittent grounding issue . It makes the grounding issue noise when you don’t touch any of the metal components, but goes away when you touch it. I am concerned about two things -...

Hi TB, I've always wanted to do a jazz bass with the concentric layout, but have heard that some people aren't a big fan because the tone controls bleed into each other? I don't really understand what was going on. If someone could explain what exactly wasn't so great about the original...

I am putting a G&L P-style MFD pickup in a BB300, to see how much I like the MFD style pup. Trying figure out the wiring, and given the images I found , I need a little confirmation: -Is the neck pickup of the SB2 as depicted in series wiring (as opposed to parallel)? -Is the L1500 wiring as...

Hi, I got a J pickup installed in my G&L LB100 a few years ago to make it a P/J, I was on the road and to save time I got it wired V V and no tone pot (used the tone pot as a volume for the J pickup)... with the intention of somehow adding a tone control later on. I finally got around to adding...
