Solderless Control Plate

[ClassicVibes]

I'm looking at upgrading the control plate for my Jazz but want to keep the original pickups.

If I use a solderless control plate, how would the existing (wired) pickups attach to the plate?

Hi CV, I fitted a solderless stack knob control plate to my jazz, and I just cut the wires off the old one and used the screw terminals on the new one 🙂

Screw terminals for the pups? Ah, okay.

What about the bridge grounding wire?

Have a look at my kits, all with screw terminals for your pick ups, bridge earth and any screening wires.

The loom I have has a screw terminal for that too , similar to the P. bass one here from kiogon

Cheers guys. 3 terminals for the neck pup, bridge pup and ground wire seems like an easy job for a novice like me!

I got mine from Six String Supplies. It's incredibly well made

Do the pot shafts take push on or grub screw knobs?

Which do you want?

CTS full size pots come in either 6mm splined or 1/4" round shafts. The Bourns pots are 6mm splined only.

I guess it would be CTS solid shafts? 

I have grub screw knobs and would be using the classic VVT configuration.

Not all 'grub screw knobs' fit 1/4" shafts, the internal measurement needs to be 1/4" 😄 some are for 6mm shafts.

They take the grub screw type of knobs - they're designed as direct replacement for US basses
