!!! CAUTION !!!
This kit can only be used in conjunction with a neck pickup with separate coil and cap wire. These PU's are easy to recognize because they have three wires, 1x hot coil, 1x negative coil, 1x ground (cap), like Fender Texas Special, Di Marzio Twang King,...
Absolutely perfect for all non-soldering iron owners, and anti-hobbyists who have so far been afraid to buy such a kit!
This Solderless Prewired Kit should be installable by anyone. We simply added a pre-wired push clamp terminal for the pickups and ground connections to our standard kit.
The wires of the pickups etc. are simply plugged into the prewired terminals and the complete soldering work is eliminated. Due to the clearly arranged terminal row, it is almost impossible to
wire something wrong, and the exchange should be relatively quick and easy even for inexperienced hobbyists. Except for the additional wiring terminal, the kit is absolutely identical to the
standard soldering kit.
With this circuit the single, parallel and serial switching of both pickups is possible. By connecting the two pickups in series, an additional fourth louder and fatter sound is created!
The prewired kit is equipped with a treble bleed mod. The treble bleed mod allows you to use the volume pot over the entire bandwidth without losing the treble.

Switch assignment:
Position 1 = Bridge
Position 2 = Bridge + Neck parallel
Position 3 = Neck
Position 4 = Bridge + Neck serial
The kit is best suited for an S-S pickup assembly (S-Single Coil, H-Humbucker).
This kit is available in all possible combinations. You can choose an Oak Grigsby (NEW) or CRL Switch, 250k or 500k potentiometers, and 0.022, 0.033, 0.047, 0.100 uf capacitors. To keep the variation selection clearer, we have listed only the most common combinations. For all other combinations please select a kit with your favorite switch, and specify the desired combination during the ordering process under remarks, for example "CRL 500k 0.033uF".
Important information about the potentiometers:
The pots used are solid shaft CTS pots with 6.35 mm shaft
diameter. This corresponds to the original US fender pots. For basses from Asia, Mexico and Europe, mostly 6 mm diameter split shaft pots are used, e.g. also in the Strat models. This means that the buttons may have to be slightly drilled out or replaced, but are usually possible without any problems. Each kit is also optionally
available with split shaft pots of the same quality upon request (please before purchase).

BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY SATISFIED WITH THE BEST.
All our prewired kits have matched pots and caps. This means that we measure all potentiometers and capacitors before installation, select them, and use them according to their values where they
deliver the best possible result in combination with the pickups. This is important because original pots have tolerances of up to +-20%. In extreme cases, a 500k pot can have values of only 400k
or up to 600k ohms. Not infrequently good pickups are replaced unnecessarily, because they sound muddy, weak or thin. In reality, however, the problem is often not due to bad pickups, but simply
to inferior wiring, which mercilessly destroys the actually perfect sound.
We compared enormous quantities of capacitors in interaction with various pickups and thus determined the most suitable tone caps under real conditions. The capacitors are hand-selected HQ film
capacitors with very low tolerance, very similar in design to the originals from the fifties. The vintage paper wax skin gives the caps an additional look. Our capacitors are so close to the
originals of the 50's that nobody will hear a difference.
In all our kits only the best components from well-known manufacturers like CTS, Switchcraft, CRL or Oak Grigsby are used. All kits are carefully manufactured in small quantities and
professionally handcrafted, and delivered to satisfied customers all over the world.
