Hi

As the title says, I'm looking for a wiring schematic for Fender Jazz basses, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Which model Jazz?

Hi - it's the marcus miller signature jazz - thanks for the diagrams....there are two tone controls for active mode on the marcus miller jazz so I just wanted to check which wires were earths etc...there is buzzing from the output so it may be a loose connection.

Completely random - bass was perfect one day, then the next day buzzing. Luckily, I've ahem, adopted another bass as a spare.

Cheers

IIRC they are prone to buzzing problems. There's a fix-it on the Talkbass wiki - [url="http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Silencing_the_Noise_on_a_Marcus_Miller_Signature_Bass"]http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Sil..._Signature_Bass[/url]

one modification is to take all the earths to one pot and then from there to the jack
that includes the bridge earth

From the Fender support pages...

Hi, resolved, thanks to all, a loose ground wire was the culprit.

Indeed!

Your modification was interesting - but a bit like putting all the eggs in one basket!
