budget bassist Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi, would anyone be able to get hold of an OLP MM2 (standard 1 pickup 4 string stingray copy) wiring diagram for me please? I bought a control plate and pickup off ebay and i'm getting a body soon and i'm not too sure where the pickup wires went (maybe kevbass could chime in with some help?). I'm also planning on rewiring it to a side mounted jack because the body has a hole for one, it's also routed for two pickups and i plan on making use of that and adding a pickup blend knob into there too... Any help with that would be appreciated. I'm also considering just using a separate volume knob for each pickup rather than volume and blend if it might be easier. Also does anyone know what the current configuration for the control plate is? Is it volume bass treble or volume volume treble? Sounds weird but i believe a tone pot is just a volume pot with a capacitor? And there's only one capacitor in there. I might just rewire the whole thing to be honest, can it be that difficult?

Separate volumes for each half of the humbucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Ah thanks, i thought it might have been Volume volume tone, though that doesn't make a huge amount of sense IMO. Is there a way i can wire the pickup to a single volume pot at all? EDIT: duh i just solder both wires to the same contact... nevermind!
