I went to radio shack yesterday. They didn't have a .15 cap so I bought a .22 cap instead. Gonna try & work on it tonight.

One black wire comes off the phase switch to ground & one black wire comes off ground on the pickup switch & grounds on the volume pot. This one looks like Grog' picture as well. Every thing looks good as far as solder joints on the bass tone pot.I am not real tech as far as testing capacitors & don't know how to test them. Just an observation not related to the problem. The body appears to have a 1/8" piece of maple sandwiched between the mahogany like some les pauls of that era. I always thought that they were solid mahogany.

Well I soldered the green wire to the left lug of the switch.I soldered the 2 blacks to the ground lug. I soldered the 1 brown from the front pickup to the right lug. I bent the 2 center lugs together & soldered the pink to it. Now I have 1 brown from the front pickup left to solder. When I look at the schematic it shows the front pickup with the other brown wire going to ground. So I soldered that wire to the ground lug. I have sound, but now when you turn the bass tone pot up the volume goes up, & it is not the tone changing it's the volume. Now I am really confused.

First time poster here. I'm working on a friends les paul triumph bass. The selector switch is bad,so I bought a replacement swithcraft switch & a now trying to resolder the connections and am confused as to what wire goes where. I know the 2 blacks go to ground.Green goes to one side, brown to the other, but where does the other brown & the pink wire go ? I drew a diagram as I was taking it apart, but now I can't find it. According to the serial number this one was made on April 17th 1980.
