Kevsy71 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 About to wire in some Fender 'original '62 bass pickup' reissues. The diagram with the pups is: Close up: So to my eyes the cap is going lug-to-lug between the volume and tone pots. I've only seen the cap go from lug to tone pot top (and ground) - so is the diagram correct? Stewmac also has a lug-to-lug cap, but additionally has the cap soldered to the vol pot top to ground, and uses different lugs: I think there's a mistake in this one too - white is hot and black is ground, according to the [url="http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Learn_About_Guitar_Pickups_and_Electronics_and_Wiring/Wiring_Kit_for_P-Bass.html"]text [/url], so surely the connections from the lower two lugs from V in the diagram should be white? All advice much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) The top diagram - Fender '62 pick ups is fine. The SM drawing has the 2 wires from the volume pot shown in black - as you say they should be white! Also SM show no earth to the tone pot body, which is wrong IMO. Meddle has it right ^^ in both posts ^^ Cheerz, John Edited March 1, 2016 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
