andytoad Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Dear Basschatters, I have a wiring problem with a bass I have, its a Vintage Stingray copy, I changed the Pickup years ago and ended up with a buzzing noise. At the time I could not be bothered to fix it, I have recently got it back out of the cupboard and wondered if anyone could shed some light into how to correctly wire the pickup (Im no electrician).... It is a passive three pot set up, the thrird pot (closest to the neck) being a "push/pull" type. The pickup has four wires (red/white/green/black) and an uninsulated earth. It is currently wired up as: Green = middle pin to 500k pot closest to the jack input Black = earthed to the back of the middle tone pot as is the un-insluatd earth from the pick up Red and Green = middle pin of the push/pull pot that is also earthed by a wire on the pin next to it (I have since disconnected these in the photo) It has a noisey buzz that gets louder when I touch certian parts of the metal parts of the pickup. im guessing one of wires that corresponds to that part of the pickup has been miswired? Please see photo.... HELP!!! thanks, Andy Edited October 4, 2009 by andytoad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
