OK, need to retract my comment about the volume really sucks. After setting all intonation, tuning and adjusting amp settings, the sound is awesome. Mellow with a lot of adjustment with the tone...

Thanks guys, got it done. Found this excellent site for guitar nuts. Used a few dabs of Elmers glue, tightened the strings until the glue set. In case anyone needs this info in the future, the site...

Building an IB5 bass, first build, just about finished. The stock nut fell off in shipment, going to replace it with a TUSQ nut. Any recommendations on type of glue to use? Would like something easy...

Wellllll, all wired up. On the new jack, you have to test with an ohm meter. Both short lugs are the same size, one is hot, other ground, long lug not in use. Only problem is that if you wire your...

Thanks Scott, will give that a go with a multimeter. The long lug appears to be connected to the sleeve (this should be ground) the other 2 (must be tip and ring) are exactly the same size. So,...

Here is a picture of the jack with 2 small pins, not sure which short pin to use. Both same size. Thanks

Have it wired using the white as hot and following the Pibull 2 Humbucker 4 pot wire diagram. The schematic shows the output jack wired as ground to the long pin, hot to the short pin. There are 2...

Thanks, will do that. Is there any benefit to using a better quality 500 ohm pot?

Great support guys, appreciate that. Few additional questions; do I bend back the 2 volume pot tabs and solder them to the pot? Schematic looks like they are bent back but doesn't show a solder...

OK, so any help out there for wiring these 2 humbuckers to 4 pots for a IB5 bass? Only schematic I can find is for a single wire pickup. Thanks

May be hard to see; red & white together green and shield together, black separate. Thanks for all you input on this.

Did the pictures attach to this thread?

OK, will try to send. All your input is appreciated

OK, hopefully this pic is attached and will shed some light on my question. None of the video guides show the 4 wire humbucker.

That may be the issue, having a lot of problems attaching a picture ( pic to large) or PDFs (file size to large). Is there an email address I can send these to?

That helps, I did download the schematic from pit bull site. I am using the schematic you referenced. My confusion is that the red and white were twisted together (same for the shield and green. So,...

Thanks, yes it is the IB5 kit, assumed the pickups are humbucker. I do have a multimeter. If I can figure out how to resize my photos, will send you pictures. I printed a wiring diagram from the...

Thanks, yes the kit is the EB5, will snap a few pictures and send later. Yes, I do gave a multimeter.

Hi, greetings from U.S. First build, 5 string bass. Per the 2 humbucker, 4 pot wiring diagram, Looks like the only wire from each pickup that's used is the white and ground. Doesn't seem right. The...
