GTMaddison Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi, I'm totally new to this forum/thread thingy so if this is somewhere its not supposed to be then apologies. I have a 1975 Gibson G3 Bass with the three pickups and the three way selector, its in need of repair and although I'm no expert,the wiring looks pretty simple and with the help of fotos I've seen on the net I'm sure I can bring her back to life. My only problem is that there is an electronic component that bridges between the volume and tone controls. I know its either a resistor or a capacitor, just don't know which one. can anyone shed light on this for me. many thanks in anticipation.

(yes the internet's made to work by hamsters cos they've nothing better to do, go on and give me a more plausible explanation, you can't can you) GT Maddison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 [url=http://www.gibson.com/Files/schematics/G3.PDF]Here's a wiring diagram for you[/url] From that it's a 0.1µf capacitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
