Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me where this wire has detached itself from please?
 

This is the control cavity of my Hohner Jack Bass and has stopped working when switched to active.- although the LED still lights up & still works in passive mode.

 

All help gratefully received - thank you 👍

What does the white wire lead to - pickups / controls / jack / battery / preamp? What preamp is it? Is the switch for active / passive or coil selection? These details might help us help you. 👍😁

Hi,

 

Thank you for your replies, very much appreciated.

 

The white wire goes to the pre amp which I think is the original ‘Artec’? one and the switch is to switch from passive to active mode.

 

I tried it on the bottom right switch terminal as I thought that was the most likely, but although there was sound when switched to active, it was very low volume and distorted. I also tried it on the top left terminal, but that made no difference at all - if that helps?

 

Thanks again 👍

Just call me Sherlock from now on 🤣 (No....really....please DON'T! :shok:)

 

Heres a link to the Hohner Jack wiring diagram on some forum called Basschat See Post No 5 It looks like the white wire does indeed come off the bottom right hand terminal 👍 Low volume and distortion could be down to a low power battery?

 

Fingers crossed for you.

Hi,

 

It’s me again, sorry🙈🙈 I’ve soldered the white wire back, but must have dislodged this black one with my very old fat fingers☹️ It comes from the rear pickup pot body and my very uneducated guess is that it’s from the Jack ground / Earth - maybe🙈?

 

Many thanks 👍

From your original photo, I would say it is the cable I highlighted in yellow (to the Jack?).

Me too, which means that if it doesn’t work with the new battery fitted when it arrives tomorrow, now that all the wiring is re connected - I’ll probably revert to plan A which was to convert it to a passive V/V/T layout👍
