Tips

  • Classic J-style bass wiring. Each volume knob blends the neck and bridge pickups. Both pickups full up gives the signature J-style bass growl. Shared tone knob rolls off treble across all positions.
  • Wire colors may vary between kit batches — match by position, not color.
  • Need soldering help? See our Electric Guitar Wiring guide for basics.
