PJ build electronics gone wrong

white is hot and black is ground (like house electrical wiring).

You might want to stay away from house electrical wiring if that's what you think...

Tubes, Jacob's Ladders, Plasma Discharges of various sorts...all powered by a tiny steam turbine that vents out the headstock...though a tiny steam piston engine would be "more steampunk" and might let you get effectively a drum machine as part of the bass

Yea, I got that reversed, didn't I.

My travel trailer drives me nuts. It is a mix of 12 volt (which should be red/hot, black/ground) and 120v (black/hot, white/ground) but they didn't follow normal 12vdc rules, instead using black for the 12v hot lines. I'm forever having to double check my work with the DVM.

I have a friend that's a master electrician. He likes to say "test before you touch." Probably would work well in this case too....

The Audere instructions say to "connect the bridge hot pickup lead to the black/white wire".
"Connect the neck hot pickup lead to the blue/white wire".
"Connect both pickups common leads together the attach them to the green/white wire"
I assumed that white was hot on both...

Great ideas! I was just going to attach junk drawer items but...
