    Amazing! 12 tears ago tomorrow, I started this feedback thread after building Dunc a P-bass loom  😃 😎

     

    Here we are still, another P-loom, perfect transaction - great guy to deal with - will we see another 12 years?

    Wire connectors for pickups - is there a standard?

    Hi @KiOgon/John,

    Yes, I do know that you make looms for people on here, to their total satisfaction. I didn’t realise they were solderless though.

    Since you are here, can you confirm that there are no industry standard connectors? Are your looms using some types of connectors where one can just insert the wires from their pickups and be done?

    It’s all out of curiosity. I was thinking of swapping some pickups out of a bass as a project and maybe make it an opportunity to learn to solder properly and create a harness - but one where I could swap pickups (and ground wires) easily (solderless).

     

    AFAIK there is no industry standard connectors for the 'music market', in industry terms it's a niche market, unworthy of a dedicated connector, it's just a question of using what's available and what will do the job. I'm sure there are speciality products in the audio signal range, but TBH the electrical range that we're using is comparatively small and insignificant that basicaly anything will do! 😒

     

    All IMHO 😉

     

    Edit; Yes I use connectors made for PCB soldering, with screw terminals for the pickup wires and bridge earth.

    Another warm welcome Syd, you're doing better than me - 74 on the 31st Jan - hardly play at all these days, still got a dozen or so - all 4 string, but try to keep in touch and enjoy making the wiring looms for the BC massive 👍😅

    End of year report: Could have finished it by now :scratch_one-s_head:.

     

    But I haven't and I won't. In trying to get the pickups to work I've made a mess of the loom @KiOgon made for me so I'm having to find some bits of wire.

     

    However, it is all together and there's no technical reason the strings can't go on, except it doesn't feel right.

    Pic for attention ;)

    Hey Si, whatever has happened to the loom - if you send it back to me I'll sort it no problem, no charge 👍

    Wiring issue; Darkglass - Help!

    I think it does show a stereo socket - two contacts (the downward V and the inverted V) and, to their right, the sleeve.

    The Darkglass diagram is the mirror image of this so they correctly show the blue going to the tip.

    I see now - I wasn't looking at it like that 🙄
