All,
Sorry, I've modified this post several times (because I've tried several things with varying results)
I'm trying to wire a pair of HB's to a 3-way switch - the bridge pup (Epi EB-0 type) only has 2 wires (white [hot] & bare [ground])
The issue I have is with the neck pickup, which is from a working Fender Telebass. It has 5 wires (Red, White, Black, Bare & Green)
The Red & White are soldered and taped together - they do nothing
The Black & Bare are soldered together - I'm assuming that these guys get grounded
The Green appears to be hot
I have a cheap Telecaster 3-way switch - it has 8 lugs (in a single row)
If you count the lugs from neck to bridge, lugs 2&3 and lugs 6&7 are bridge-soldered together
Lugs 1, 4 & 8 were open and unsoldered
Lug 5 has a white wire that goes to the hot lug of the Vol pot.
Here's what I did:
Neck pup (green) to lug8 (closest to bridge) of 3-way switch
Neck pup (Blk & bare) to Vol pot back
Bridge pup (white) to lug1 (closest to neck) of 3-way switch
Bridge pup (bare) to Vol pot back
Here's the results:
Switch to Neck position (fwd) - Neck pickup works
Switch to Bridge position (back) - Bridge pickup works
Switch to Blend position (middle) - neither pickup works
I'm just trying to figure out how to wire this thing in order to get the blend position to work.
Anyone here have any advice?
Thanks,
Steve
