Wiring diagram for G&L SB-1 for passive P-bass wiring harnes

Post by BoppinSol »

Hi. I just received my G&L SB-1 bass pickups. How do I wire using just a standard passive P bass wiring harness? And will I reduce the pickups advantages by wiring to a standard P bass harness. Thanks. I see one pickup has a green and a yellow wire in addition to the black grounding wire. I am clueless where to solder or did I bite off more than I can chew with these pickups using a standard P bass harness?

Here is a link to the Technical schematics and wiring diagrams on G&L's (2017) website (Internet Archive):

Since none of our member bass players don't seem to have any recommendations, you might check over at Ken Baker's bassesbyleo.com forum.

Hope this helps.
