fleabag Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Just about to slot a pair of the passive MEC ( humbucker size ) pups into my bass, but they have the least amount of wires on a humbucker i've ever seen One white wire surrounded by some braiding . White is hot and braid is ground, presumably ? Seems weird for a humbucker. Of all the hummies i've ever owned, there's always been a pair that needs twisting together ( presumably for series output ? ) plus one hot and one ground Unless of course, despite looking like , and the size of a humbucker, its just a single coil ? arggg...

brensabre79 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 It could be a humbucker, sometimes the 2 coils are wired internally. Musicman pickups used to be the same. It just means you can't coil tap with a switch. Quote
fleabag Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Sounds reasonable ! If its any help, they came out of a twin pup german Streamer Standard, pre Rockbass streamer. Quote
verb Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Warwick describe the Streamer standard pickups as vintage style humbuckers. I would think that you are correct with white hot braid ground, this is how it is on MEC passive J pickups. This is the wiring schematic http://www.warwick.de/warwick/data/Warwick.de/Technical%20PDF/Scematic/Discontinued%20WW/60062.pdf Quote
