Wiring Help?!?! Diagram Anyone?


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys

I got a parts bass i am trying to wire together a Seymour Duncan SJB-3b and SPB-3 (Standard PJ Pickups) I would like to wire these two two volumes, no tone control straight to the socket.

I have wired them up as i think, but i just get the pickups both on at the same time, and the volumes dont work. Can anyone help?

wire the hot to pins 2 and pin 1 to pin 1 on the other pot
then from pin 1 on the other pot
to the jack

this is looking on the bottom of the pots and pin 1 is first in a anti clocwise direction
it will still work if you get it wrong but the vols will work backward

earth pin 3 on both to the pot body and then a earth to the jack

you may have wired the pots with hot to pin one and then pin 2 to pin 2 on the other pot
this doesnt work as one pot cuts out the other

Hey Chris - sorry I didn't see this sooner, I've just re-wired my Frank Bello with the same pups & new pots.
If you're still having trouble please give me a shout.
Cheers,
John
