Nordstrand MM4.4 and 5.4 wiring schematic

[Fabianbass]

Hey guys,

I am a long time follower of TB and have found it a useful resource so I figured I would join to add to try to add to the pool of knowledge.

I am working on a four string bass with a MM4.4 quad coil pickup. I noticed that there wasn't any info on how to wire this up on TB so I figured i would post the schematic I am trying.

Settings:

Parallel
Black +red + hot
white + green + shield + ground

Series
black + hot
red + white
green + shield + ground

rear / front
red + white + ground or hot (ground for
rear, hot for front)
green + shield + ground

my wiring of the DPDT switch will be:


1: green + shield + ground

2: white (2 needs to be jumpered to 5)

3:

4: Black + hot

5: Red

6:

this will result in a Parallel / front / series setup. I will post a JPG of the schematic shortly.

Can you post the color code for the pickup?

Series/NC/Parallel switching is done like this:

To translate the color code:
In Seymour Duncan's diagram,
NC + = Black
NC - = White
SC + = Red
SC - = Green
