Wiring help needed - 2 Vol and 2 Tones
« on: October 20, 2011, 09:29:29 AM »
OK, I'm putting the LP deluxe together and I need a simple schematic for just 2 Vol and 2 Tone controls, no switch.  Can someone help a poor woodworker out???  :P

Man, you are good!  Where do you find these things?  I Googled forever and couldn't find the exact one I needed.  Everyone uses the switch!

Maybe for you!  I'll have to look at the two diagrams and compare.  I really need to take the time to learn guitar electronics!

The wiring help sure came in handy.  I was all set to finish her up last night and the Gotoh tuners I had on hand don't fit, so I ordered a set of Schallers like they would have used on it originally.  Man, now I gotta wait for the mailman to shag a$$ to my house before I can play her.

Thanks again for the help!

They are Gibson Thunderbird Plus pups.  They really grunt and growl.  Got her strung up tonight and she sounds great.

I'll post pics and clips if I can figure that out too!

Are those Gibson products or made by a second party?

Those are Gibson. I have one of the gold one's that is going in my BachBird. It wont look gold when it is in there tho  ;)

When I had my LP Standard bass, those pickups were VERY aggressive. Of course I mean that in a positive way.

Yep, Gibson.  And I have another set I'm saving for a future project!  They are very aggressive and a great match with the LP.

Thanx!

You're welcome!  They were floating around eBay a few years a go and I nabbed 2 sets.  Should have bought 4 sets!

Here she is with tuners and strings.  She kicks butt for sure.  I'm gonna leave all of the dings, dents and gouges for awhile and see if they help the tone improve over time.   ;)  I'll try to post some audio clips via Sound Cloud this weekend.
