skibum5545 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I was reading about EMG's (the bass P-J set in particular) and noticed that they somehow have only three wires coming out of each pickup, making normal wiring (i.e. without buying a special EMG kit) impossible. What gives? Anyway, does anyone know where I can find some plans for wiring up EMGs with mods beyond what the pickups come with (vol. vol. tone)? I was hoping for something along the lines of Master Vol Blend Master (or separate) tone Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks skibum5545 PS anyone who can explain any POSSIBLE reason for the 3 wire arrangement will be my hero forever and ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FajiiNako Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Weird. My P/J set (made in 2000) had one wire coming from each one. It just had a mesh, and a hot wire on it. Sorry, i can't help you with the blend knob. I really only know how to 2v, 1t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
