Wiring questions

[wazkelly]

Hi Guvna, try this wiring diagram that I used on my EX-1 as it had one of those box style 3 way switches and all generic kit PUPs come just 2 wire irrespective of single coil or humbucker. You only get 4 wire on humbuckers where you have spent extra on upgrades to something like Entwistle or Tonerider.

thanks Wazkelly,

so single coil or humbucker in this case being generics can be wired the same way.

ie in the diagram i intend on using the tele bridge pup intead of the humbucker shown with all other wiring the same?

cheers

Though for completeness, I think some of the bass kits now have 4-wire pickups.

Only some of the humbucker varieties Simon as the J & P Bass kits are still the typical F style single coils. Also just had a quick look on the store and 4 wire PUP's only come on EX's, FV's, IB's, MMB, PBH, & TB. For all the chrome covered bass humbuckers they are just 2 wire.

I was mainly referring to guitar kits which are all 2 wire and the 4 wire bass ones are paired off to look like 2 wires anyways. You actually have to separate the red from the white and then figure out which one goes where to make any sense out of the alternate wiring options this presents. Totally different on these Bass PUP's as there are no slugs or screws to guide you as to which one to coil split to and if done the wrong way around it sounds horrid.

Cheers, Waz
