You guys were a lot of help in the last thread. I need help wiring my pickups. :bass:
Twist 1: I have a J in the neck position, a P in the middle, and a J in the bridge position and I can't find wiring diagrams for this. Closest thing I can find always involves switches like this one: http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg152/captainbraindamage/3pickups.jpg
Twist 2: I have 3 volume knobs, and no control knob.
I was thinking to use a combination of a normal J wiring diagram (with two J pickups), and a PJ combination.
What I have planned so far
orientation: viewed from underneath the pot with the three prongs on the bottom, as seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K33Xj95095I
pot 1: neck J pickup (following regular Jazz wiring diagram)
black wire from pickup connected to bottom of pot
output connected to left prong
white wire from pickup connected to middle prong
small wire connecting right prong to bottom of pot
pot 2: middle P pickup
black wire from pickup connected to bottom of pot
white wire from pickup connected to left prong
output wire connected to middle prong
small wire connecting right prong to bottom of pot
pot 3: bridge J pickup (following regular Jazz wiring diagram)
black wire from pickup connected to bottom of pot
output connected to left prong
white wire from pickup connected to middle prong
small wire connecting right prong to bottom of pot
I was then going to connected each output to each other, then from the bridge's output to the output jack's tip.
Then connect each pots' ground to each other, then from the bridge's ground to the output jack's sleeve. Finally, connect ground from bridge also to bridge's pot.
Is this remotely close to correct? Wiring pickups has always been my weakest area of fixing my instruments.
