RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Rob. Sorry, I won't be able to help. What I will say tho', is that I too have a washburn status. I kept getting radio/police messages on mine at band rehearsals. I ended up giving it to a tech, to make the pickups passive( no battery needed anymore). The sound was /is different from the brightness that you normally get with this bass. In the meantime, have a bump for some proper help.

dincz Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Just posted this in another thread. Standard wiring for a blend pot: [URL=http://s1070.photobucket.com/user/dincz/media/Blend_zpsabc0b703.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u493/dincz/Blend_zpsabc0b703.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big rob Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Does anyone have one of these with all intact as should be that you can take some photos of, that would be a great help i think. I have now found the below, but i'm not too sure where the white wire in mine should go or the two earth's that are identified on the blend pot pins.

The solder tag complete with all the earths should be screwed to the body somewhere in the cavity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big rob Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 I thought the white wire might be the bridge earth, I thought i would have to put the black wire on the big solder tag thats in there now elsewhere, however there does seem to be more black wires than in the diagram. did a pic really of how it should look.

big rob Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well all, I think i may have found my extra wires, i lifted the pickups out as i need to add some springs for height adjustment and under them is another black wire which is screwed into the wood, this does not seem to be on the wiring diagram and also i am a little confused where they need to go if at all. Also is the white wire the bridge earth? and on the wiring diagram the shield earth is this the one screwed to the cavity silver foil. Sorry for all the questions but i don't want to mess up my new purchase. Here are some pictures to try and explain a little more: [attachment=174543:WP_20141023_0021.jpg] [attachment=174544:WP_20141023_0031.jpg] [attachment=174545:WP_20141023_0061.jpg] Thanks to All, Big Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big rob Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Dear All, Managed this in the end with a couple of little re solders. Just information for others if they have the same issue. Wired like the diagram above, with the 2 addtional earth's i seemed to have under each pickup these where also wired to the top of the blend pot. The 2 earths from the blend pot tabs i soldered to the foil tab screwed to the body in the cavity. All seems to be working OK now.
