Unable to find a diagram, however, makesure the pots were replaced with identical units as not only does the resistance have to match, but the taper of the resistance MUST match the original ones. There is a letter designator on the pots as part of the part number and this MUST be the same on the replacement.

There is very little to go wrong other than the pots and the capacitors and the switch and of course the pickups.

The AES-820 control system has a user manual at the Yamaha website and that one does NOT have a "tone" control, but instead has controls for the two pickup mix. This is not reaally a tone control as is commonly thought of, but changes the sound in a different way. Not sure if your unit has the 820 system, as that system has two mix pots, a rotary selector, and another switch.

Wiring instructions dean edge bass guitar 4 pots & battery

To wire a Dean Edge bass guitar with four pots (potentiometers) and a battery, you will need to follow the wiring diagram for the specific model of your bass guitar. Here is a general overview of the wiring process:
  1. Start by connecting the ground wires to the pots and the battery. The ground wires should be connected to the ground terminal on each pot and the negative terminal on the battery.
  2. Next, connect the power wires to the pots and the battery. The power wires should be connected to the positive terminal on the battery and to the power terminal on each pot.
  3. Connect the pickup wires to the pots and the output jack. The pickup wires should be connected to the pickup terminals on the pots and to the input terminals on the output jack.
  4. Connect the control wires to the pots and the output jack. The control wires should be connected to the control terminals on the pots and to the output terminals on the output jack.
  5. Test the wiring to make sure everything is working properly. If there are any issues with the wiring, you may need to double-check your connections or consult the wiring diagram for your specific bass guitar model.
It is recommended that you follow the wiring diagram provided by Dean or consult a qualified technician if you are not comfortable wiring the bass guitar yourself. Improper wiring can damage the guitar and potentially pose a safety hazard.

Ground wire is not attached

okay. the ground needs to travel through all your components.you have the -input jack, - vol. & tone pots, the -switch & all - pick ups. All should meet at the body ground. Usually there is a wire that comes from the saddle, through the guitar, and enters somewhere in the access in back. (remove the plate that cover your vol. and tone pots). Good Luck

Wire diagram samick gregg bennett guitar

Here is the wiring diagram for a 2 humbucker, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way switch setup. The wires off the pickup may be a little different. Just attach the lead wire to the arm of the pot and the ground to the ground on the top of the pot. Should be very strait forward.

Will volume and tone knobs for a Gibson fit on a Washburn HB30? Is the shaft and spline the same?

Yes, Some gibson electric's have long shaft pot's, they will still fit but you will need to use another nut to adjust the pot's so they do not stick through the body to far. Knobs should fit unless the old gibson's are solid shaft. Then you will need new knobs. Many guitar parts places on net to order standard pots and even wiring kits. Try Allparts, , www.guitarelectronics.com/,, Guitar ******, then www.stewmac.com/

Problems with tone pot and volume only works at full volume

Pots are dirty or worn. Use an electrical control cleaner made for volume controls or have them replaced.

Peavey signiture EX wiring

if the signature ex has any special plugs then the actuall diagram for that guitar is needed. but if it uses the standard two or three potential meter ( volume knobs and tone knobs or (pots) ) with a pick up selector and an input. then you can use any guitar wiring diagram and i think you can find that on web. wiring the pick up should be shown in the diagram with the pick up selector.
