Which wire

[YouMa]

Doing some upgrades at the moment,I have 3 wires 2 black and one white coming from each pickup in my fender jazz which is the hot and which is the common? I would assume the 3rd wire from each pickup is for shielding each pickup cavity,anyone know.Cheers.

Yes, white will be hot and the two blacks go to earth i.e. one pickup neg and one shield.

Thanks for your help mate,if im left with these 2 shield wires once the other wires from the pickups have been attatched to a blend pot,can i just attach them to the earth/ground screw thats in the cavity? Once again thanks for your knowledge.Mark

Anyone?

I should think that any ground would work, either to the back of pot or a screw.

There's a Fender webpage giving a load of wiring diagrams [url="http://www.fender.com/support/wiring_diagrams_parts_lists.php#basses"]here[/url] which should help you.
