EMG MMCS pickup wiring.

[abowla6671]

I bought an EMG MMCS pickup for a Musicman SUB bass. The internal preamp is set flat. I want treble and bass pots, but I don't want to spend another $100+ on their preamp controls. Is there a wiring diagram to solder up regular pots? I have a 5 string ESP bass that this tech soldered the EMG's up to the stock pots, so I know it's possible. Thanks in advance!

If you want bass and treble boost and cut, you have to add the controls. No way around it.

This is my 5 string that I mentioned in my post. The EMG's are soldered to the factory pots. It's possible, I just don't know how to do it to my single pickup musicman sub.

It's possible in your 5 string because you have the EMG BQS control system installed in it. See that EMG circuit board in your picture?

So again. You will have to install a control system in your Sub.

My guitar is soldered to factory pots too because we didn't have the emg switch. So idk
