Metalmoore Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 So i bought a used OLP Ray a month or so ago and when i opened it up to give it a clean i killed the electronics by accident... I tried my own soldering skills but with no luck so atm its wired straight to the jack. What i am looking for is a OLP Ray wiring picture or diagram (preferably a picture of someone's own OLP's insides). I looked on the seymour duncan site to see if they had anything but nothing helped. Another thing is the HB only has two wires, it starts off as one then splits into two, would i be right in thinking that it should have more? I always thought MM HB's had 4 wires. Any help could be great. Also i will be buying all new electronics, i seen a thread recommending WD Music, Does anyone have much experience with them?? Cheers for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 what is the basses spec? ie:passive? (all the OLP's I've seen are) single humbucker, one tone, one vol? if so you might be able to use a p bass diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If I remember correctly, OLPs are VVT - there's a volume control for each coil in the humbucker and a single tone control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 There is a version of the OLP that was VT(hi) T(lo) - I had one. No idea how it was wired. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ones use a straight Jazz bass wiring: each coil has its own individual volume, and a master tone control. To the OP: if there's only one pot with a capacitor, then you have the usual Jazz bass wiring configuration. Just find a J-bass wiring and follow it. You'll find the problem easily... or just rewire the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I just remembered one of my OLPs is still stock, so here it is in case you find it useful: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
