mart Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 From looking at the KA website: [url="http://www.kentarmstrong.com/pages/schematics.html"]http://www.kentarmstrong.com/pages/schematics.html[/url] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It would help to know what preamp you're using and what it expects as an input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 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.
