lobematt Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hey there, I've wanted to change the pickups in my corvette for a while now and the other day the switch fell off my bass and I'm not sure whats happened but the pickups now sound pretty thin and I can't get that bassiness back in. I was wondering if theres a way I can rewire the pickups that are in there for maximum balls and leave the switch (and maybe pull pot) redundant as I never used them anyway!

brensabre79 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You could wire the pickups in series if you have 2. Maximum balls but the sound is not to everyone's taste... Personally I'd have it swtichable, in fact I do on all my basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobematt Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Any ideas how I'd go about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Basically you join the positive wire of one pickup to the negative wire of the other. What you're left with is one positive wire and one negative. The positive one goes to your volume control (or straight to the tip of the output jack if you don't want any controls!) and the negaitve goes to ground. Here's a usefukl website which explains better than i can... http://www.1728.org/guitar.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
