@Hellzero I want to remove the push/pull entirely, not wire in split and series modes. @tauzero this is very helpful, thank you 🙏🏻 would you use 500k pots instead?

@tauzero I’m wanting to remove the push/pull, it makes such a small difference to the tone, and I’m looking for a traditional wiring for a short scale

@Hellzero my wiring has the black going to hot which doesn’t match the diagram above. I’ve messaged Sandberg to see what they come back with. I know the pickup on the Florence is referred to as a ‘mudbucker’ which might explain the alternative wiring.

Here’s the internals as they are currently configured. I’m unsure of the rating of the volume pot but I could simply switch out the push/pull for a 500k tapered pot

Yes Paul! It is a Mudbucker however it only has two cables despite having a push/pull pot on the tone. I’m thinking of wiring with 500k mini CTS pots but then at a loss after that. I’d be happy with no coil split on the basis that I’m trying to find the guitars tone

Afternoon chatters I bought a fantastic Sandberg Florence bass, however the pots are pretty cheap and the humbucker is super powerful! As a result I’m thinking of rewiring the guitar however I’m battling finding a wiring diagram for a short scale humbucker equipped bass. I’ve been looking at the EB0 diagram which changes between years but I’m unsure how to approach this does anyone has any advice that would help? thanks matt

So the tone pot isn’t broken but it’s so subtle that it’s barely noticeable. My instinct is to replace the pots and wiring with a standard set up, something akin to a Gibson EB0 or similar

I’ve just got me a secondhand Florence, which is awesome fun to play. A kind chatter on here sent me some worn in flatwound La Belles which feel great. The only downside is that the tone pot needs replacing, it’s not working at all. What surprises me though is the cheap, made in Korea, pots that Sandberg use, I don’t understand why they don’t put a few extra quid into the kitty and put CTS pots in there?

Chatters! I’ve just picked up a lovely Sandberg Florence short scale bass. I have a question about string gauge. They come with 40-100 which for me is too light for a standard scale bass. Can anyone advise what string gauge I should go up to? I’m looking at flats if that makes a difference. TYIA Matt

Bassist available, own gear and transport. I’ve been in an originals band for the last year which hasn’t worked out but it’s given me some solid gigging and jamming experience. happy to play just about anything in any style. Seeking musicians who rehearse regularly.

Basschatters! I’ve fitted a new pair of Jazz pickups and soldered them into the existing pots. it’s all high quality stuff, CTS 250k and good quality wiring, etc. However when I have both volumes up full the volume drops off and goes real thin. Back either of the pots off slightly and the volume springs back into life. Has anyone come across this before? Are the pots knackered? Is it some other issue?

Minor tuning key fettle required to get them to sit snug in the existing holes. They were moving under tension. Lord bless copper tape and its multitude of applications ❤️
