Does anyone know how to wire this?

Hi all, I got this along with a bass, so I'm wanting to fit it in a bass. 

 

Firstly, does anyone know what it is? I'm thinking a tonestyler type tone control. 

 

How do I wire it to my existing cheapo p bass?

How many positions? 5 plus by pass?

Wire out the vol pot as you would to a tone pot.

 

I'm still undecided if tone should come out the vol in - full pup... rather than be influenced by the vol control coming out the wiper socket out?

 

Anyone?

 

I've used the Artec QP on a couple

I think it's 5 yes

Ooh sorry, no, it's 6 position.

It looks like a multi-position tone switch, similar to that fitted into an Aria SB-1000

[PaulThePlug]

If you have a multi meter?

One wire should buzz out on all settings - ground - vol pot case

The other at the different switch positions - hot or + from the Pup in (or hack out?) of vol

 

What are the colour of the wires? I'm Red / Green Colour blind!

Only 2 wires. Black and red.

Bingo!

This is the existing set up. With my tonestyler type having only red and black. I'm not sure what to do.

You will need longer wires to get from the jack to the Vol...

Your new Tone will then jack out and ground (or pup in and ground)

Last time I made up a varitone pot I just replaced the tone pot with it.

 

Followed this from a boy on TalkBass.

This would be wired to the vol pot same place as to the jack socket, so you could  wire it across the jack socket! (INPUT RED / GND BLACK on your Tone Switch)

Or... you can wire the + to the pickup in on the vol pot.

More pics... Cheapo P Mod or Bitsa are the bassic of bass... everyone should do one! Or more...

Might try a spare QTP in this?
