Hello Tino! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I think you are asking about how to solder your the wires on your kit? You can use the "Precision Bass" wiring diagram from the PitBull website... but it is a little incomplete

https://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-co...-PB-4%20v2.pdf

This one is a little clearer...



It's in German, but there's not much to translate: "Masse" refers to "ground" or "earth." The other is "Saitenerdung" this means "bridge ground wire"

I like this chart better because it shows the ground wires which the PitBull diagram does not.

Did any of your kit come pre-wired? If so, you may just need to attach the pickups and the bridge ground wire.

If it is not pre-wired, you need to hook up all the wires. I found a video that is pretty complete here...



I found two videos specifically about wiring a Precision Bass, which is what your bass has. This was the better of the two, but there are some things about it that are odd. He is using old pots that have been soldered before, and are quite dirty. Also he is using a GIANT capacitor (cap). In your kit it will be MUCH smaller and either a "burnt orange" color or green as in the diagram I sent. It does not need to be very big to work ;-)

One thing to note is whether your bass has a hole drilled from under the bridge to the control cavity. It looks like it does on the PitBull website, but sometimes they come without the hole being pre-drilled so that you will need to drill it yourself. That wire is very important for grounding the strings.

If any of this is confusing, feel free to post a picture and ask questions along the way. We have had folks that are pretty expert with electronics, as well as people who have never soldered wires before, so all questions are OK ;-)

Thank you very much for your very complete and detailed response. I am sending you a photo of the kit that arrived to me. I think that with the information you sent me I wouldn't have any problem making the solderings. One of the pickups came detached. I suppose I should glue it. Sorry if my English is not correct, I am using Google Translate and I don't know if any word or expression will be correct.
Cheers and good luck.
