The Shrek Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hey guys, fitting a Delano Pbass pickup at the neck and a Delano MM pickup at the bridge. I want to wire up the same 4 knob passive system as the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram. My first problem is being colour blind 😁 but I get my good lady to tag colours for me. Now the MM wires in the diagram are different to those on the Delano MC 5AL. The Delano has white, green, brown, yellow and a bare wire. I am afraid I don't understand wiring but I can solder and follow "very simple" instructions. Can anyone please tell me what the equivalent Delano colours would go to which terminal or pot etc and give me the 4 knob wiring in the diagram. Thanks Michael.

KiOgon Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 If nobody else comes up with an answer - I think there's a Delano wiring colours paper in my drawer somwehere, let me know if you need it and I'll have a search tomorrow.

BassBunny Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Looking at this wiring guide, which is possibly the one John is referring to: http://www.delano.de/downloads/installation guide_2018_1.pdf Front coil is White (Hot), Brown (Ground) Rear Coil is Green (Hot), Yellow (Ground). So Brown, Yellow and Bare wire replace Green White and Bare on the SD diagram. White replaces Black on the SD diagram Green replaces Red on the SD diagram. If you have a multimeter, it might be worth checking that White/Brown is 1 coil and Green/Yellow the other in case I've got it wrong.

White is front hot for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBunny Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 That looks a cool build and a 5-er as well.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shrek Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 I am looking forward to finishing it and hearing the sound. I really should have done more work with drilling and filing and pickups etc before painting. I have managed to put quite a few scrapes and chips on the paint.
