Thread: RCA-4 pickup upgrade question.

  1. #1

    RCA-4 pickup upgrade question.

    Greetings fellow builders. I'm building my first bass. I've chosen the rca 4 and I've upgraded to JBE r 4000 pickups. I'm guessing I'll need a different wiring harness due to the new configuration. Anybody have any suggestions?

    welcome to the forum Plasti,
    where are you from ?
    Can you please post some pics or details about the pickups and whether they have 4 wires and are coil splittable ?

    If the pickups have a hot and earth wire only then you should be able to use the Pitbull wiring diagram

    EDIT are these the pickups ?

    Wiring won't be a huge issue, you will have to modify the bridge pickup rout though.
