Double neck wiring...help !

[Chris Hawkins]

Hi all ! I'm new to this so here goes . I'm building a pbg double neck as my first project! I know I know how hard can it be right ?
Well it turns out to be a real challenge. I've wired it twice now and redone every soldered joint but I'm having no luck bringing it to life ! Has anyone had any experience of this ? Does anyone have any advice ? Thanks in advance.

Chris - what are you having issues with? Are you getting no noise at all - or is one or the other neck / pup not working? Any more details and we can happily help.

Other thing would be some photos of the wiring - closeups showing the back of the plates - there's a couple of guys here that can pick an issue pretty quickly.

Hi thanks for your reply I'll take some photos later I'm hoping it will be something obvious!
Although my colours are not quite as the are in the pitbull diagram.

Hi here are some pics of my guitar and wiring.
I'm fairly happy with the way it looks ( apart from the burns I did by accident with the soldering iron) but when I attach my amp I'm not getting any noise when I tap the pickups I have redone nearly all of the wiring
With new solder . I had to extend one of the pickup wires as they weren't long enough as the pickup selector switches are by the necks on this guitar. Hence the shrink tube .
Can anyone see anything obvious that I'm missing? Thanks Chris.

Ok how do we attach pictures?

Images need to be <1500 pixels on their longest side. If you hit the Go Advanced button (below and to the right of here) - it will bring up a screen where you can add images.

Resizing images - couple of ways - I use a program called Irfanview and use the resize feature in there.

A few pictures of wiring, looking for any ideas or help on getting sound out of the guitar, thanks

Sometimes the solder-lugs on the pots can go a bit loose if too much heat from the soldering iron is applied for too long when soldering connections, this can cause the output to go a bit intermittent (cuts in and out randomly), had that happen to me a few times in the past.
