Wiring Harness 1953-65 Dark Circuit TeleCASTER

The circuit corresponds exactly to the model from 1953-65 with 2 capacitors. This circuit is known as "Dark Circuit", and should imitate an electric bass in pos.1, but was changed due to the drastic savings policy of CBS to the now known standard circuit with only one capacitor. So if you want to have the "real" tele sound you've come to the right place.

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).
