I have completed my build of a PBH-4 Bass guitar and during the final fit-out I have experienced some electrical problems. Firstly, the wiring diagram for the PBH-4 doesn't seem to match the actual wiring on the pickups or the pots supplied.
The bridge pickup came with the red and white wires twisted and soldered together which I initially left that way and soldered these to the Rear coil Vol pot and the green and bare wires (which were also twisted together and soldered) to the ground on the Front coil Vol pot as shown. This didn't work and on the wiring diagram it shows the red wire going to the Rear coil Vol pot, so I separated the red and white wires an fitted them as per the wiring diagram. This got things working but still not properly.
Secondly, the Front coil Vol pot was supplied with a green capacitor (same as the Master Tone pot) and wired differently to the wiring diagram, so I'm confused as to which is correct and how to fix it.
None of the pots seem to do what they're suppose too.
