Aussiephoenix Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Guys, I've got a Wizard Thumper (P) on my Frankenstein bass going to volume 1, and a Wizard Magic (MM) pup going into a 3way coiltap switch, and from there, to Volume 2. There's a 9v Aguilar OBP3 in the mix too. I've screwed up my wiring somewhere... Now, the Precision sounds fabulous soloed, however, I'm having a few issues with the MM pup and the 3way switch. (Both pickups have red, white, black, green and bare wires) Problems: 1) in the bottom position, the 3way acts like a mute switch. (it was supposed to give me the MM in series mode) 2) in middle and top positions, (suposedly Bridge Coil on one of them and MM in Parallel mode) I hear both pickups, but as I lower the volume on one of them, the other gets MUCH louder. the overall volume is lower when both are on. The way I have it wired up is as follows: ON the P pup: White and Black are connected, Red goes to the Middle tip of vol1 Green goes to left tip of vol1 and Ground. Switch poles: 1 2 3 4 5 6 3Way switch connections on the MM Pup: Red goes to 2 Black goes to 3 (along with the wire that goes to Middle Tip Vol 2) White Connects 1 and 5 Green + Bare go to 6 (Along with the ground Wire) I guess the problem is Im not understanding how the 3way connections work... Help me figure out what Im doing wrong please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
