Hey everyone!
I’m planning to rewire my Yamaha BBP35 (PJ configuration) and would love to get some feedback from those more experienced with bass wiring.
Here’s what I’m aiming for:
Volume: 250K push-pull pot (for series/parallel switching between P and J pickups)
Blend: CTS EP-6386-000 500K MN taper pot
Tone: ToneStyler Bass 10
My goal is to have:
• Push in → pickups in parallel (standard PJ setup)
• Pull up → pickups in series (fatter, more powerful tone)
I’ve drawn up a wiring diagram showing how I think everything should connect, and I’ll include some photos of the pots I’m using.
Before I start soldering, I’d really appreciate any feedback or corrections, especially around:
• Whether my series/parallel switch wiring looks correct given both pickups only have two wires
• How best to ground the blend pot and push-pull pot to avoid hum
• Any other improvements or common pitfalls I should watch out for
Thanks in advance for taking the time to look! I know a few of you have done similar PJ rewires, and I’d love to learn from your experience. 🙏
