robocorpse Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi, I have an old Reflex potted preamp kicking around that was removed from an old bass and forgotten about in a drawer. I might want use it in my forthcoming build, but no idea of the wire designations. It is a 7 wire box: Green Black White Blue Red Yellow Pink Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 7 wire ones, and does anyone know the pot values? Also, will it work with any passive pickup or does it have to be Reflex Reds? Many thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've got a couple of jazz reflex reds kicking around. I've unfortunately lost the "black box" for them which is annoying as I've had a couple of basses over the years that I probably would have stuck them in. The Aria Pro II that I had them in sounded fantastic. They were very similar to EMGs from what I remember but a bit more organic and, dare I say, warm. Very punchy but VERY quiet, no noise. In terms of wiring, I've found this: [url="https://i1.wp.com/chinariffs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Official-Reflex-Reds-Wiring-Diagram1.jpg"]https://i1.wp.com/chinariffs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Official-Reflex-Reds-Wiring-Diagram1.jpg[/url] There's also some reviews etc: [url="http://planetbotch.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/reflex-reds-guitar-pickups-in-retrospect.html"]http://planetbotch.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/reflex-reds-guitar-pickups-in-retrospect.html[/url] [url="http://chinariffs.com/2013/06/a-legend-and-reflex-reds/"]http://chinariffs.com/2013/06/a-legend-and-reflex-reds/[/url] Hope this helps.

Mcgiver69 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think I have one of those black boxes (potted in red wax if I'm not mistaken) kicking around. I could look in my spare parts box if you are interested. I don't think I'll use it as I sold my pickups. I'm sure I even have the pots too.

Bigguy2017 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Can't find info on 7 wire.... 6 wire is here So many guitars, so little talent: Resurrecting some Reflex Red pickups (spongeoffun.blogspot.com) Only the Black wire is missing... I'd guess switched ground for the preamp?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
