soopercrip Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hey, I'm refurbing a bass off ebay ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157731-new-project-now-arrived-oh-dear-pics/"]http://basschat.co.u...d-oh-dear-pics/[/url]) and the electrics need replacing. I'm working to a budget and wanted to use these pups [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400203607145?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649[/url] which he says is showing 8k on his ohm meter, and wire them Jazz style through vol/vol/tone. Been on the fender site and got a jazz wiring diagram and it uses 3, 250k pots with a .05uf capacitor on the tone pot. For that I was going to use one of these [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230688454202?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649[/url] The question is, will this work and what sort of signal could I expect, strength and quality. No info on the winding of the pups unfortunately, but the seller has good ratings for the quality of the goods he supplies. Also would taper pots be better than linear, thinking of these alpha pots medium from axesrus [url="http://www.axesrus.com/axeElectronicsPots.htm"]http://www.axesrus.c...tronicsPots.htm[/url] I'm ok with the wood stuff but electrics, weeelll i'm willing to learn.

Monckyman Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hey. Nice project. I have a 65 Teisco sitting in a corner gathering grumbles from the Mrs too! I can`t see anything wrong with the pots or the tone cap,all have good reps and are used widely. The Jazz diagram will suit this bass perfectly. The only known unknown( ) is the pickups, which seeing as they are no names, nobody will know about. The Wizard 64s are 8.6 and 8.2 ohms respectively which suggests your Korean pickups won`t be too quiet. I say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soopercrip Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks MM, all ordered. I also ordered the bridge and tuners from the pup guy, the gear on his ebay shop gets good feedback, so here's hoping. Prices were very keen, just waiting for shipping from Canada.
