    Hi all,

    I just got a used not working Nady bass and I wanted to know how to wire it correctly.

    I know nothing about electronics, but curious to understand it one day, for that reason I feel like fixing it myself.

    I'll attach a picture of what's inside, can you tell me what needs to be done? Or shall I purchase a wiring harness of some kind and fit it in there instead?

    All I see is the wiring for the volume and tone pots of the bass itself. It looks like the wireless parts are missing. This is no great loss as you don't have the receiver either.

    Take some time to look at what you have. The Thunder has one split P style pickup and one single coil pickup near the bridge. There's one tone pot for each pickup and one tone pot. Find a drawing of a similar circuit and trace out your wires. This is a good way to start to learn about circuitry.

    *Edit
    One volume pot per pickup and one tone pot.
    I should not have been awake at that hour, especially on TB.

    I appreciate your reply. The guitar is on its way in mail still, I'm looking at pictures from the seller to get ready for what to expect. :)
