Schecter J-5 Pickups and New Pots

[twbassman]

Hello, sorry if this is in an existing thread, I could not find it. I have a Schecter J-5 bass guitar and I am changing out the pots. I am going with a straight tone knob. The problem for me is, the two Jazz Pickups have three wires. Sadly, I am mostly novice. I know how to wire a two wire pickup, but not three. My knobs will be standard V-V-T.

Also, the neck pickup has the following wire colors: Yellow, Purple and Black. The bridge pickup: Red, White and Black. I imagine black is ground, and one is shielding.

Lastly, I have ordered a multimeter to check the wires, but I don’t know what to look for in it or how that works. I can YouTube it I am sure.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Why do you want to change the pots? Unless they’re scratchy you’re probably best leaving them as stock.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you know the wiring? I believe one is hot, one is ground, the other would be ground for shielding. I will check on the multimeter. Cheers.

Got my own answer. The great people at Schecter hooked me up.
