Drak Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Go to EMG's website, they have schematics and drawings in PDF for EVERYTHING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 You're describing a Les Paul style circuit, although minus a pickup switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ado Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 sorry just to clear things up its for a bass EMG-35DC I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Makes no difference at all. Circuit is the same. As Drak says, go to the EMG website as it's all listed on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_the_damned Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 This is how you want to wire them: which as Prostheta said is just like a Les Paul withouth the switch but of course you'd have to look at the wiring for the EMG humbuckers to find it (its not in the PDF for the bass pickups).

tim_ado Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 thtanks thats great as long as they both go through the battery and they bboth have there own volume/tone that great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Using the diagram posted, turning down either volume pot is going to turn down both pickups (as in dual master volumes), just like a stock LP. If you're not going to use a switch, either reverse the pickup and jack leads on both volume pots (and move the tone cap to the wiper), or live with dual master volumes (and interactive tone controls). A blend pot would be the ideal solution here, but I have no idea where you'd find a 25K Orban-style panpot.
