Members vintage clubber Posted October 23, 2011 Members Share Posted October 23, 2011 working on one for a customer right now. Anyone know why there is no ground wire to the output jack?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 There should be! Also, make sure you ground to the brass plates in the control cavities. I rewired one recently - if you're still stuck tomorrow I can open it up and snap some photos. On the switches you want to make an X from pins 1 -> 8 and 2 ->7. Pins 3 -> 5 and 4-> 6 should also be jumped - i'm thinking of them like this: 12345678 Pickup ground Neck goes to 4 hot goes to 3 Bridge same thing 78 on first switch goes to 21 on next switch At the end of the second switch 7 is your ground (back of volume) 8 goes to your volume lug 1, jack goes from lug 2 lug 3 grounded to vol pot. Then wire your tone pot off lug 1 of vol to lug 2 of tone cap goes between lug 1 and ground 3 is open. That should do it hopefully and ground bridge and brass plates to pots.

Members honeyiscool Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Metal control plate. No need for ground wire other than ones from the pickup cavity and bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vintage clubber Posted October 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Here's the guitar. This was a repair job for a local pawn shop that one of my clients works for. The tuners are after market and the neck pickup also seems to be a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 so is a jazz bass the same? Sure. And actually any pickguard with conductive tape does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
