  • older US Jackson bass wiring?

    Anybody got a wiring diagram for an '88 US Jackson bass with active circuit board? The guy I got it from wouldn't say what model bass it came out of.

    Pickups are Jackson logo'ed J-20 and J-150 P/J set. Pots are A50K on the board, and 2x B250K with center indent. So it looks like a master volume and 2 linear tone pots.

    I could probably get this working by wiring the pups in parallel into the board. But what's confusing me is the absence of a pickup blend, or seperate pickup volume controls. Was that the way they did it, or am I missing something?

    I thought it was too simple to be right, but it is. I'm just missing the toggle.

    Mod: feel free to delete this thread...

      Actually, those were available with either a blend or a switch, so you can choose either one. I had a San Dimas Student bass with the P-bass/Humbucker combo, and it had a 3-way toggle. The other Jacksons I had used the blend pot.
      It all depends on the size of the spare hole you have.

      Also, the two pots (not on the board) are bass and treble cut/boost.
