Pickup wiring!!

[MarkNS4]

Just got some mew pickups and I need help

Wires are as follows:

Red, green, White, black and bare

And all I know is I need a hot, a common and a ground


Any one know what I should

Also these are motherbuckers made by Armstrong

It looks like your black is hot, the red & green should be twisted together to be your common, and the white & bare wires should be twisted together to be your ground. But have a look at the PDF on that page as it may have the exact circuit you need.

It would help to know what preamp you're using and what it expects as an input.

audere 3zb is the preamp, and its expecting one wire from the neck pu, one from the bridge pu , a common from both the pu wired together and to the preamp and a ground if there is one

Afraid I have no experience of Audere preamps. If you've bought the preamp new, I would suggest contacting Audere for some help about connecting a humbucker to their preamp.

Simples!
