  1. Aria Pro II RS ESPRIT ciruit diagram

  2. Peavey Milestone II Bass - wiring diagram please
    bnoyz

    I need a wiring diagram or schematic for a Peavey Milestone II Bass. I’m trying to repair it for a friend who had another friend try and now the wires are all disconnected. There are only 3 wires inside: 1 red, 1 blue, and 1 black. The red and blue independently come from each of the 2 pickups. The black, which i’m guessing is ground, comes from within the body??? Please help. Thanks.

  3. Re: wiring a double neck[bass& 6string]
    Sy Sterritt

    Initially I was going to use a sterio jack,then was advised to use 2 single jacks,the kit wiring was wired using volume to change necks,I wanted a switch to change necks,using a bass amp and a guitar amp. The techys messed it up and I’m
    going to finish it! Hopefully it is possible! Thanks.

  4. Aria pro II bass
    EE-rick

    I am TRYING (I really mean that) to repair the circuit on my friend’s Aria Pro II bass (80’s). It has an active EMG (JP, 2 pickups) set up in there, with the orig pots (non push contacts like today’s EMG pots) that do work. THE TONE pot is working but just turns the whole circuit off (like a vol. pot)when you want to bring down the tone. This has resulted in a feeling known as ARRGGGHH, as I have tried to put the tone cap any where and everywhere to get it to filter highs, like a tone cap should do. WHAT WRONG BY CRACKY??? The EMG site only shows a printable diagram for the push contacts, and there is no view of any cap at the tone ‘pot’, as it’s likely the cap is tiny part of the circuit board that makes up the tone contact under the pot. My Question: In an active JP circuit, where do I solder the tone cap?
    Really getting frustrated on this……….
    Thanks

      Fraser,

      Not sure if you still need help. I have one of these guitars and could help draw out a circuit from mine.

      Can you let me have a sketch of your current wiring diagram as in the guitar right now and I will work out where it has gone wrong.

      Best

      this guitar didnt have a tone control to start with, just a volume, splitter, and a 5 way. the original diagrams are right, just look one up for a guitar with the same configuration. ibanez makes a guitar that is hss with one vol and one tone

  21. Washburn P Bass pickup
    Joey Looney

    i have in my parts bin a washburn p bass pickup. they have no magnet holes on the face, they are smooth like an EMG, with washburn printed on them. also the magnets and windings are wrapped in foil. only problem is is basically has only one wire. there is a red wire that and a blue on the bridge pu, the blue connects to the neck pu. there is a short black wire that comes out of the other side of the neck pu, but it is soldered to the "foil wrapper" i get approx 13k across the red to the short black. can i add wire to the black one?
    should i consider this one the "ground" and solder it to the other "foil wrapper" and then to the back of the pots.

      G Spencer

      I have just purchased a HB6N epiphone guitar pick up and thought I would just interchange it with the original one on the guitar (neck side) However the original pickup has just one wire exiting the pick up and going to one of the pots whereas the HB6n has two wires coming out from the pickup one being an earth or some kind of shield. The wire has been cut not far from where the cable exits the pickup and is not a full length. I was going to extend the cable by soldering another longer cable to the existing one when I noticed that this pick up HB6N had the two cables exiting or onecable with some kind of shield. i AM DESPERATE TO KNOW HOW TO WIRE THIS UNIT UP TO THE GUITAR. Please haelp. Thank you

      Stephen

      Hey, just wanted to say that I ran into the same problem with finding a wiring schematic for a friend of mine’s Peavey International Series Milestone II (1 volume, 1 tone), but after days of research i found one that worked, I have listed the link below. In my friend’s bass I used blue wire as the ground from the pickup and the red wire as the lead from the pickup, also it doesn’t show where the ground wire from the bridge goes (it was a white wire in my friend’s bass) but all you have to do is solder it to the top of one of the pots like all of the other ground wires. I hope that this helps!

      1. Peavey Milestone II Bass wiring
        Bnoyz

        First of all, thanks for the link you put up. I was wondering, though…there is a blue coming from one pickup and a red from the other and then a black going from one pickup to the other as far as i can tell. So, do you send both leads from pickups to the same point? And is the black wire between them just grounding the pickups? Is this a sufficient ground because you show an actual ground coming from the pickup to a pot? Thanks for any help
