Solderless Wiring?

Can anyone tell me what type of terminal blocks can be used to join my jazz bass pickups to the control plate so I can remove everything for a refin and not have to try soldering afterwards?
Also fancy trying a stack-knob setup in future so would be good to be able to switch between hassle-free.

Isn't this more what the OP is looking for:

The problem is you will probably need more space in in the body cavity to fit the things in.

The best route is this one:

So... you need to solder on a solderless connection to avoid the need to learn how to solder. :D

You know what I mean! :lol:

I thought the OP just wanted less hassle when wiring pickups in, dunno if he can solder or not.I've thought of the standard screw terminals before but they're pretty big and control cavities can be pretty tight. Don't know if you can get small terminals with screw connections at both ends, would be handy.

I've seen it done elsewhere on here but can't remember the topic. I just wonder if the wiring blocks have to be of a certain amp or something?

I make wiring kits with solderless connectors, I could fit them to your controls for you if you want to send it down & cover return postage :) PM me if I can help.

Why oh why!!!!!!!

Cut the wires to fit the terminals, fine.
Bare wires, not so fine. Bridge pup ground wire snaps off pot at solder.
Attempt to connect remaining wires into terminals and re-position control plate, disaster.
Half the wires come loose and control plate won't fit back into cavity!

Bass will in pieces for a while as I plan to sand and prep it for a respray but at some point it's going to need sorted.
