Thanks guys for the advice, i am going to have a go tomorrow, i will keep you posted. This does not sound too voodoo at all.

Cheers
Rob

Dear All,
Managed this in the end with a couple of little re solders. Just information for others if they have the same issue.

Wired like the diagram above, with the 2 addtional earth's i seemed to have under each pickup these where also wired to the top of the blend pot. The 2 earths from the blend pot tabs i soldered to the foil tab screwed to the body in the cavity. All seems to be working OK now.

Cheers
Rob

Cheers BassBus,
I will give it a go tomorrow, have band tonight and have put the old strings back on and its fine again. Do i turn until it plays ok and then leave it 24hrs to settle or do i need to turn, leave it 24hrs and then see if it plays OK. Sorry for all the questions, have always seen truss rod adjustment as a bit voodoo and don't want to f it up.

Kind Regards
Rob

Thanks for the advice, do i adjust with the strings on?

cheers
Rob

Dear All,
Sorted the electrics now on my Washburn Status, however i have change the strings to 30-90 gauge and now have dead notes on 3rd fret and below and some fret buzz. Must be the change in gauge, but do i need to adjust the truss rod? there is no nut it being headless. Your help as always would be much appreciated.

Regards
Rob

Bump for help still, come on you electronics lovers. What would you do with your soldering iron?

Rob

Well all,
I think i may have found my extra wires, i lifted the pickups out as i need to add some springs for height adjustment and under them is another black wire which is screwed into the wood, this does not seem to be on the wiring diagram and also i am a little confused where they need to go if at all. Also is the white wire the bridge earth? and on the wiring diagram the shield earth is this the one screwed to the cavity silver foil. Sorry for all the questions but i don't want to mess up my new purchase.
Here are some pictures to try and explain a little more:

Thanks to All,


Big Rob

I thought the white wire might be the bridge earth, I thought i would have to put the black wire on the big solder tag thats in there now elsewhere, however there does seem to be more black wires than in the diagram. did a pic really of how it should look.

Bump for help with the wiring diagram i found above

Does anyone have one of these with all intact as should be that you can take some photos of, that would be a great help i think.




I have now found the below, but i'm not too sure where the white wire in mine should go or the two earth's that are identified on the blend pot pins.

Please help

Have just brought a Washburn status 1000 s70. Only issue is the the blend pot has been bypassed as it was noisy, i will get a new one but i don't understand the wiring. Can anyone help with wiring instructions. Will try and add photos later.

Here are the pictures:

If you where nearer i would make you an offer.

This looks cool, looking for a new toy, is the finish satin?

Rob

Dear All,
Saw this on cash converters, not my thing but sure someone would bite there hand off.

Your right its great, but i love it so much i can never sell it to try something else and i don't have the spare cash.

Still cant have it all.

That is only lovely bass is that £900 shipped to the UK?

God i wish i had brought the one with frets

Great looking bass, but just too much cash for me, will have to stick with my 89 Warwick dolphin pro 1.

Wish it was cheaper!!!!

good luck

jesus that is so cheap someone is going to get a very lucky buy

[sub]CHANGED MY MIND AGAIN WOULD CONSIDER A SWAP FOR A BOSS ME50 B [/sub]

Is this bass still about?

Hi all this is still, around but would prefer a straight sale now. This really is as new.
