p-bass Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi i have a 1980 P-bass special USA. After a long search i finally found a replacement active board for it. The problem is i have 3 wires 2 black ones and one white on. One of the black ones comes from the bridge the earth and the other 2 come from the pickups. What i,m trying to find out is where these wires are soldered to the active board. I don,t want to wire them to the wrong place and fry the board. Does anyone know where they go on the board. I can provide photo,s if this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Pics would be good, but the 2 blacks will be -ve or earth and the white will be +ve or 'hot output' from the pup. The blk and wht from the pup should have an input point on the board thats obvious.... teh blk from the bridge can go to the -ve of the jack or the back of a convienient pot.

The Burpster Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Sorry but pic isnt much help.... If I squint and shake my hands infrom ot my face it looks like the encrypted porn channels in hotels..... need better pics.... had another thought, it maybe one of these that the pup wires staright to the vol pot and the PCB sorts the rest of the pre amp from there. But would need to see lots more detail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
