Many thanks. I really need the switch panel that Pitt Bull provide. I am not an electrical person at all. But thanks

I'm not sure if the components listed will match the specs of those supplied in your Pit Bull kit, but this Beatle Bass wiring diagram (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/hofner-not-just-beatle-basses-group-619448/index37.html#post12008730) should point you in the right direction.

(oops, just realised it's the same diagram as the one already posted)

If you're unsure from the circuit diagram itself the photos of the back of the control panel should help.

Humphrey did you get an answer that actually showed you on the Control panel sent by Pitbull, I have the same issue and that diagram just didn't help because the supplied panel has a circuit board mounted above all the componentry, IN1 (Volume 1) has two copper squares (I Assume these are Soldered to the two wires from one Humbucker), unfortunately IN2 has 3 squares so I guess one of these is some sort of Earth?

I tried but could not insert a photo of the board.

Use the blue "Reply" button down on the lower right.

That should then give you 3 "Choose File" buttons below the reply box allowing you to attach photos (on a PC etc, not an iPad)

All good and sorry for not replying. Job done and the bass sounds very good through my valve VOX amp.
