SD distortion/Jazz in Ibanez 7421 problems

[MikeNeal]

long time lurker first time poster.

so, i installed a SD distortion in the bridge, and a Jazz in the neck.

seymour duncan didn't have a wiring diagram for the stupid Ibanez 5 way switch, so i used a diagram i found elsewhere online.

i soldered everything up, but i get no sound, not even a buzz.

all my connections are solid, and the pickups are brand new.

it worked before i swapped in the SD pickups.

needless to say, im confused

Could you make a diagram of what you did/ and/or give us some pics. Could be anything.

The wiring diagram attached is the one I always use. All you need to do is look at the color code chart I have attached swap the ibanez wires around with the duncan ones.

Hope you get it sorted, enjoy!

everything is hooked up identically to the above pictures.

argh.

Try hooking up each pickup straight to the jack separately just to make sure there's nothing wrong with them, then redo the wiring again with the switch and everything

 

[MikeNeal]

which wires of the pickup do i wire to the jack?

The black Duncan wires go to the hot on the jack - the red and white wires are soldered together, and the green goes to the jack ground.

I've toasted a couple of those Ibanez switches with too much heat before and they produced the same issue you're having - it's unlikely but possible.

Put up a picture of what you've got going on and we'll get you figured out, no problem.

I also had this happen a while back to the stock switch on an RG. Replaced it and it was fine after, plus it's a good reason to get a switch that doesn't "click"

im thinking thats whats happened.

i had some trouble soldering a couple of the connections and had the heat on the switch for quite a while
