jpwannabe Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I'm installing 2 new PUs on my rg550, Air Norton/ Steve's Special I'm wiring it with a 12 point 3 way toggle switch. I found a wiring diagram here http://www.ibanez.com/wiring/wire.asp?y=1996&w=JPM100]JPM wiring After wiring I only get sound comming out from the neck and middle postion but nothing from the bridge, not even noise. I also find find my volume and tone pots a bit noisy, should I get new ones or not? I wired it and double checked if I made any mistakes, to see if any wires has been short circeted. Am I doing something wrong with the 3 way toggle? Does it matter which way I wire the toggle, I'm not sure if both sides are the same or not. I'm using a Dimarzio 12 point 3 way toggle. Please can someone help me out. Thanks Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneth_b Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 You could try some electronic cleaning spray on the pots, available at any Radio Shack type store. As far as the Neck only pickup, I don't know. You could start playing jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 reread the instructions again and again. Some times there are wires that shouldnt touch that do. Look at it again to make sure you did it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwannabe Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 okay sure will, could it possibly be a faulty input jack or pots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 You've either miswired the switch or the bridge pickup - notice that the two pickups are wired differently. Try printing out the diagram and coloring all the wires with a felt-tip or crayon, and compare it to your setup - the switch is shown as if you were looking at the bottom of it.

jpwannabe Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 well, so it dosen;t matter which side the switch is facing, right? becuase both sides are the same I'm assuming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 In the diagram, the switch is shown moving from left to right. So long as your switch moves that way, it'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
