Bartolini TBIBT Wiring - Jack Socket

[tonyf]

Hi all,

 

I can do almost everything regarding the setup and customising of my basses but one of my weaknesses is wiring. Unless it's an EMG quick connect, I'm always a bit useless of anything inside the control cavity unless the wiring diagram is absolutely crystal clear.

 

Brought a Bartolini TBIBT from another BC'er the other day to accompany a couple of recently installed Bartolini pickups in a 5 string Jazz bass. Looking at the wiring diagram, I'm a bit confused by the jack socket wiring. 

 

I've got one of these. 

 

The Bartolini wiring diagram looks like this. Not sure which tabs refer to which two wires on the diagram (circled in red).

 

I'm also not sure where all the earths (circled in blue) end up. 

 

 

Any help would be gratefully received! 

 

Tony

The Red is from your volume pot, all earths you have circled in blue connect up together and the black from battery negative.

 

HTH,

Please excuse the rubbish graphics:

 

 

The sleeve isn't shown as connected to anything but it goes to the various grounds, the ring goes to battery negative and is connected to the sleeve when a mono jack is inserted, and the tip carries the signal.

Send the earths to the sleeve.
