Thunderbird Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 [size=4]Hi all I have just picked up another Peavey Zodiac now the wiring in it is shot to sh*t I have just about got it sorted but what has thrown me a bit is that when I strip the plastic sleeve form the pick up wires I have some wire that was directly below the shielding and when I pull it back there a 4 smaller wires inside these are coloured Red, White Green and Black I have not seen this before and wiring is not my strongest subject lol so do I just use the small Black wire as a normal ground and the small White wire as the Hot and then just put a sleeve over the Red and Green wires so they are out of the way? but then what do I do with the wire that encases the 4 smaller coloured wires?I think am I missing something here[/size] [size=4]Thanks in advance all [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefyst Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 the wire around the coloured wires is likely to be sheilding....generally that just get soldered to a ground point That sounds like a dual coil pickup? is it coming from some kind of humbucker? have you got some photos might be able to help out a bit more if I can see what were working with.

icastle Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It's for a guitar, but it's Peavey and the colours match what you've got... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks Ian will have a little play with that bit weird having 4 wires going to one pup bloody peavey lol I am wondering if I just use the red and black and ignore the other colours maybe it is just a generic wiring loom they put in to everything to save money? will have a play and report back thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 As the drawing Ian posted should be right, use red & black as your output with green & white joined, the outer screen with the black = ground. Cheerz, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
