Delberthot Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've been going to fix this for ages but haven't had the time. I have an Epi Explorer that someone did a refinish on without taking the pickups off. The pickups are put to one side until I look for something that may be able to remove it without melting the plastic but in the meantime I have the ones from my Thunderbird to put in. When I got it it wasn't working at all, the switch had completely broken off. I'm in need of a wiring diagram but can't find anything - does anyone have one handy? It may very well be the same as the Les Paul bass I'm not even sure what the switch is for, I'm assuming its a pickup selector with vol/vol/tone controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 I can't see one on there that would do it. Think I may wire it the same as the thunderbird in the meantime just to bring it back to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Assuming it is VVT with 3 way switch then will this help?

Delberthot Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Never thought about checking out a guitar schematic. That looks like the ticket. Cheers Keen to get it wired up so I'm still going to use the Fender Jazz wiring diagram until i can get a switch. On second thoughts I seem to have run out of pots so I've bought a batch of 500k ones and a switch.
