Hi everyone,
I have the following problem: I have a guitar and with two Seymour Duncan passive pickups in it and would like to replace the bridge pickup with an EMG 81. I will have two volume pots for each pickup with 25k ohm for the active one and 500k for the passive one and no tone pots at all. The EMG comes with the solderless version and I don't know how to to connect a solderless pickup with the soldering pickup.
Is it correct that I should wire the pickups to their volume pots first, from there to the battery bus (http://www.emgpickups.com/content/wiringdiagrams/B157_0230-0113E.pdf which is included with the emg pickup) and on the left side of the battery bus there is a solderless connection to the switch and on the right side to the jack!? Is my main idea of the wiring correct?
My problem is that I don't know how to wire my passive pickup with the volume pot and from the volume pot to the battery bus. Out of my passive pickup are coming 5 wires (black, red, green, white and bare). My Volume pot looks like this http://ratcliffe.co.za/articles/volumepots/bleed3.gif .
If my basic idea is right, I just need to know which wires i have to solder to what point of my volume pot and from the volume pot to the battery bus. And what i have to do with the Ground wire from the Bridge.
If even my basic idea is wrong, I'm fucked![wallbash :wallbash: :wallbash:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wallbash.gif)
thx in advance for you help!
