Bartolini MPB1 wiring scheme

No help from bartolini fax from website. Need help. I have a peizo/magnetic buffer from Bartolini that I want to use in another bass. Can anyone give me an idea of what the color scheme is for the wiring from the MPB1. The Bartolini site does not have any schematics for this buffer. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

If it's a current component you can try contacting a Bart distributor like bestbassgear and they may be able to help.

If it's in a bass then you should have some idea of what the scheme is from that. At any rate I'd leave it there and go with a new buffer for the other bass. Makers vary their color schemes and Bart makes/has made so much stuff that it just complicates matters, not to mention custom stuff per other makers specs for their systems. Unlike simple pups there's no way to figure out what electronic components wiring does to my knowledge. You're probably wasting your time trying to adapt it something it wasn't designed for - even though it might work.

I don't buy electronic components that aren't pre-wired, don't have instructions, or the seller doesn't know the wiring scheme for for that reason.
