wiring diagram Status/TE T-Bass

[Forst]

hi,
i have a "new" t-bass 5 string from eeeebay....without the original
preamp. i bought a new from status (no diagram...)... but...no tone (in both switchpositions)
i wired, pu-red to +, pu-black to - (according to the boardlettering bridge, hum and neck), pu-cableshielding alternatively to - or ground.
battery, batterybox, neck & bridge-pu work. hum-pu i still have to check separately. the complete circuit-pocket is shielded and has only contact to ground.
is there an apparent mistake?
has someone a wiring diagram for me?

thanks
sven

Rob Green (Mr Status Graphite) is very helpful. If you email him, I am sure he will be able to email you the wiring diagram

it works and sounds great!!
here is rob's answer:

"...I tested the circuit before it was sent out so it definitely works OK.

The pickups should have a red and a blue wire plus the outer screened wire. Unfortunately the writing on the board is not correct.


1. It's been a long time since I wired this circuit but I think it should be like the rough attached diagram with the core wires Red / Blue, Blue / Red, Blue / Red when working from the edge of the board.

2. The earth screen wire should NOT go to either of the inputs... only the earth.

3. The Battery + goes to the + on the board.

4. The battery - goes to the solder pad behind the jack socket, NOT the battery - next to the +.


Sorry about all the confusion. The board was made about 17 years ago and I did not design the layout of this board.

I'll check all these details today and make sure they are correct.

Best regards, Rob Green."
