Wiring straight to jack.

As per title.

Wiring P bass pickups straight to the jack, so where do I attach the earth wire from the bridge?

Thanks.

On a P bass the jack socket has two connection points.
One of them connects to the tip (stick a jack lead into the socket and you'll see which connection that is).
The other one connects to the 'sleeve' part of the jack plug - that's where your earth needs to connect to.

...if you can be bothered to solder it of course...

All done. Thanks.
