WWRRSS Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) I have a P-Bass with a DiMarzio Split-P pickup in it, wired straight down to the jack. When i've sheilded the cavity and the back of the plate will the jack fitting ground it? once the lead from the bridge is grounded too? Thanks!! p.s. is it just worth lashing the knobs back in even though they aren't used? Edited December 17, 2009 by WWRRSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
