hooky_lowdown Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Can you wire Jazz pickups to a P bass loom? I ask because I'm about to collect a jazz which has some electrics needing to be replaced, I already have a solderless P loom at home, so I'm thinking of connecting Live wires from both jazz picks to the Live terminal, same for the Ground wires from both pickups. This will make the jazz pickups wired in parallel, right? So both jazz pickups will always be fully on, adjustable only by single Volume and Tone, right?

BassBunny Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Shouldn't be any problem at all. Yes they will be in parallel and the Volume will control both pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yes - I agree with @BassBunny Can be interesting to experiment with different pickup heights for the two - you may well find a sweet spot combination of heights that suits your style and rig.

BassBunny Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just had a thought, if this loom is going in a Jazz, there will be a spare hole in the bell plate. that seems to be crying out for either a pickup selector switch or a series/parallel switch. That would make the bass much more flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
