[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='837158' date='May 14 2010, 02:02 PM']Not sure you've got the wires to the barrel jack the right way round - try swapping black and white?[/quote] GENIUS!!! It's alive!!!! Thank you!! I was certain I'd done that correctly.... oops! I have a spare battery clip is it worth doing the 18V mod? I can't mess that up!!

Okay a couple of new clearer pics and a summary of my problems. Any help appreciated!! - E and A string side of P-type pickup not working although D and G side is. - J-type (bridge) pickup not working. - All quick connectors are the right way up. - Both volume and tone controls do nothing at all. - VERY low output to amp. - As far as the diagram goes everything appears to be wired correctly. -

Hmmm....problem still persists. Really confused.

I have checked all the connections on the backs of the pickups themselves and they are attached the right way up. I spotted a misplaced wired on the tone pot earlier which I'm going move to the right tag now. Fingers crossed!!

Here's my wiring (it's not the neatest I'm afraid)

They're actives.... [url="http://www.emginc.com/products/category/24/2"]These ones![/url] I'm pretty sure they are connected the right way up as well, although I'll triple check. Will dig out the camera and post a pic.

Recommended to try here my a fellow musicradar forumite... I have been trying to install a PJ set which I've followed to the letter but have still run into problems. The pickups seem to have very lower output compared to other EMG pickups I have and turning any of the 3 knobs (neck vol,bridge vol,tone) does nothing. Tapping the pickups reveals the E and A side coil (P-Bass type) seems to not be working where as both the others do. Baffed!! Any ideas?
