umpdv5000 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hi, I realise this is an old thread, but I too am in need of the same wiring diagram as this guy (I too found the later version on the site). Is anyone able to oblige? Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It'll be a standard unbalanced XLR wiring convention: Pin 1 - Earth Pin 2 - Live Pin 3 - Link to Pin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpdv5000 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1419352550' post='2639072'] It'll be a standard unbalanced XLR wiring convention: Pin 1 - Earth Pin 2 - Live Pin 3 - Link to Pin 2 [/quote] Thanks for the reply, but it's not really the XLR wiring that I'm looking for (although this particular XLR has a choke on it that is sealed around with heat shrink tubing), I am in need of a full wiring diagram for the model that has an XLR. My fault really, I should have started a new thread asking for that, but I miss read the title of this one thinking that is what the original poster was after. To clarify... I am a repair luthier that has been presented with this bass in a rather "well used" condition, with the request as to put it back to working order. I sorted a few jobs on the bass, give it a good set up and it now plays nicely working on it's passive controls. However, the active section is having none. I have given it a relatively brief once over making sure connections are in place, but I suspect that someone may have alterered the odd connection over its lifetime and this is why I could do with a circuit diagram for this model. I intend to give it a good inspection today and it may be that I can sort it without one, but I am a little bemused by the choke that is stuck to the XLR which is the reason that I suspect it has been altered. Looking on the net, this site is the only one where someone has posted a circuit diagram for one of these basses, albeit the later model (which is a little different). If anyone could oblige I would be most grateful. Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Ah. The lack of circuit diagrams for this particular bass has been a bit of an issue for a while now. Adding a choke to the XLR reduces RFI. My best guess is that the B2a hasn't got a proper balanced line out and the choke will be there to get round that potential issue. If it were me, I'd just bypass it as a starting point and just reconnect it if I get a lot of RFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Have you tried asking Hohner direct? I can't help as mine is the jack-only version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpdv5000 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 [size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Yes, I email Hohner direct a few days ago, but they're closed until the 7th Jan for the holidays.[/font][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
