hooky_lowdown Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I'm wanting to test/experiment several different p bass pickups (passive), but don't want to solder each one everytime. Its a "play at home" bass, so doesn't need robust fixings, which is why I thought if I run ground and live wires from volume pot into a 2-pin terminal, and then run the ground and live wires from the pickup(s) into that it should make it an easy change each time. Only problem is I don't know which 2-pin terminal I might need, or where to buy them? Quote
itu Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Whichever is good. Probably your choice is something very flat, if the space is limited. It does not have to be a coaxial plug and a jack. Or if space is not an issue, something like this: https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-Buchanan/1977477-2?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuMS2dUaCDnDDzpnySEMiBK https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/8PCV-02-006?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsOthVV91%2FyqPwihGV2WcCd Quote
BassBunny Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Couldn't you just use 2 sections of a 3 Amp Connector Strip? Cheep as chips at 40p. https://www.toolstation.com/connector-strip/p79740 1 Quote

I've not had any issues with it coming loose either. Quote

Absolutely perfect for testing purposes like yours. Equally good for splitting your live & earth's on the motorbike for aux appliances off of one relay. Quote
