I'm fed up with trying to find these damn pots close to home, so while I wait for them to come in the mail, i'll just wire my SD JB straight to the jack. but I don't know what colours I solder to the different parts of the jack. I'm using a deep panel jack.  :help:
 
As far as I know you can't do it, you'll need a pot or a capacitor wired between the pickup and the jack... but I now nothing about electronic

It'll be bright, but it can work. Sorry, no diagram.
it's right, untill I get the pots i'll just do some screaming shreddy stuff with my mates.Do you not know how the diagram is, or is it that there isn't one?
 
Well, my understanding is null. All i know is whats the parts are and what they do, not how they work and to make them work off the top of my head. I wish I really did know that though. :-\
 
There is absolutly nothing wrong with going straight to the jack...
Its just going to be very bright sounding.

Assuming that you want series humbucker wiring:

White and Red wires together.
Green and bare wires to the sleeve of the jack.
Black wire to tip of the jack.

What about the bridge ground?

And whats a series?
 
Bridge ground also goes to the sleeve of the jack.
Any other grounds will also go to the sleeve.

A humbucker is comprised of 2 single coils, which can either be wired in series or in parallel to each other.
The "standard" way is in series.

Right, now I know what some people are talking about, i'll get to wiring soon.
