Pete1967 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think you're really going to really struggle without the exact diagram for that board and identifying the pin outs of the connectors, but I'd hazard a guess that the spare yellow is battery negative and red is battery positive, and the blues are for the 'hot' from the pickups (probably the centre wire of the two grey and black coax cables). The Earth from the pickups (the screen of the coaxes) probably joins a yellow. But don't blame me if you fry the board following my advice Alternatively bin the whole board and fit new pots and an Aguilar OBP 2!!!

flikenoir Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Cheers guys, will have another look at it but contacting Vintage or just sending it into a shop is probably the most likely solution. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Fairly likely the pickups are standard and you can just lose the preamp and do a simple passive wiring job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
