Gizza Help!! Wiring (or ham-fisted numpty) problem.

[Vinny]

For no better reason than 'just to see what would happen' I've wired up my Peavey (passive 2H) with series/parallel switches. I did this [url="http://www.guitar-mod.com/wiring/pbass_4conductor.gif"]http://www.guitar-mo..._4conductor.gif[/url] twice, (with colour differences etc.) just doubling the output to the jack.

When connected up alone, both pickups work completely fine (switches, vols and tones) but when I connect both outputs to the jack the neck pickup completely overrides the neck pickup. Even with the bridge flat out, turning the neck vol down means the bass goes quiet.

Its doin' m'yed in!

I even stripped the whole show down and redid it twice with the same effect.

Its this one, btw. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/203788-show-your-orange-basses-here/page__view__findpost__p__2277840"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__2277840[/url]

Lowering the height of the neck pickup using the screws and raising the bridge one would be the first thing to try.

I'm sure its not that, the bridge pickup is plenty loud with the neck one disconnected. Its as if the bridge one becomes disconnected when the neck pickup is connected to the jack socket.

Re-reading my OP, I probably should have said 'silent' rather than 'quiet'.

Try to take and post a clear pic of your wiring. You may hav connected it wrongly.
