hooky_lowdown Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, I'm looking to change pickups in my p bass, I have no soldering experience, nor any kit. But would it be possible to cut the soldered wires on the current pickups, and then cut the new pickup wires, and basically twist the two together to form a connection. Would that work?

zero9 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yes it would. Make sure you cover the joints with some insulation tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If you wanted to change the rest of the wiring whilst you were at it, our resident [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"]KiOgon[/url] does cracking solderless wiring harnesses.

Dad3353 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yes, pack up the p/ups and control plate, all of it, and send 'em to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"]KiOgon[/url]. He'll fit it all together, solderless for future upkeep, and it'll come back 'tiptop'. I wouldn't recommend messing about with sticky tape, except to try something out 'quick 'n dirty'. Get it done properly by the Expert; your bass is worth it, no..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Cheers chaps I'm never far away & probably no need to send me the bits, a solderless wiring kit means you can change/fit new pick ups in minutes, with no burnt fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
