La Cabronita Wiring Harness
La Cabronita S1 Switch Alternative Push/Pull Prewired Kit
This circuit is similar to the one in the Custom Shop models with S1 Fender Switch and the two pickups. We use a much cheaper CTS
push/pull pot instead of the expensive S1 switch, but the function is the same. When the push/pull is pulled, two audio capacitors with different values are connected to each pickup (2x .0033uf
bridge, 1x .001uf and 1x .0033uf neck). This results in an additional sound for each pickup separately. When the potentiometer is pressed, the tone capacitors are not active and the original
sound remains unaffected. In order to facilitate the difficult soldering of the pickups, we have prepared connecting cables for the PU's.

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).

Why a Prewired GUITAR WIRING HArness from Arty's Custom Guitars?
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.
