Wiring Lakland pickups in a Cort bass

Hello all,

 

So, I'm looking to fit a pair of Lakland pickups (jazz/humbucker config) into a Cort GB-75JH.

Originally I'd say this would be fairly straightforward, but a. I'm a bit of a dunce where electronics are concerned and b. the following email from Brian at Lakland has me flummoxed.

 

***

In our factory configuration, the MM pickup sends its red and black wires to the 3 way coil tap switch.

FYI - please be aware both the neck and bridge pickup are humbuckers. There are 2 coils side by side in the neck and 4 (2 in front and 2 in back) in the bridge. 

The coil tap switch determines which of the 4 coils in the MM pickup are switched On at any given time. 

***

 

The attached PDF from Cort shows how the JJ version of this bass is wired (I can'#t find one for my bass sadly)... 

This image from Lakland shows their wiring.

The Lakland J pickup has red and black wires, and the H pickup has those, as well as a green wire.

 

I've included a few pictures of the cavity. It's nearly bundled and I struggled to get enough detail, but there is clearly no green wire.

My understanding crashes here.

 

Has anyone ever wired Lakland pickups before and/or knows enough to guide me here?

 

My thanks in advance all.

Julian...
