  3. "soapbox" pickups
    D. Cox

    I am thinking about buying a Fender Aerodyne Telecaster and it is advertised as having one "soapbox" pickup as well as the single coil. The picture looks like a humbucker but they use the word soapbox to describe it. What is a "soapbax" pick up.

      Soapbox pickups are P-90s. Search the Internet you’ll find tons of info about them. They are kinda between humbuckers and single coils. Lots of people swear by them.

      taner ayan

      : Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about yamaha pickups. My old bass (pearl rip-off of a fender jazz) hummed way to much, and eventually i got Yamaha 5 string P and J pickups to replace the old unshielded paperweights.
      : Problem is, i can’t seem to get them to work. The old ones were simple 2 wire PUs, the new ones have common shielded red&white wires, and a blue, giving 4 wires. the shield is connected only to the PU case shield, and i’ve measured 100kohm red-white, 300kohm blue-white, and 400kohm blue-red (all at DC).
      : I’ve tried just about every combination of wiring, differential pre-amps, using one as a centre tap of the other 2, contacting yamaha (thanks for the reply, 2 months and nothing…). I can’t think of much else, i know the pickups work, just not in my bass…

      Matt

      : Hey man, i have the same problem, with the same guitar. What u need to do, is solder the black on to the prong on the far right, and the blue one to the middle prong, and then which ever wire comes from the output jack, blue or orange, to the middle prong.
      and finally the last one to the far left prong, that one should be a ground wire. Hope that works for ya.

      I have a PEAVEY FORUM AX ACTIVE BASS with a broken (the oriiginals are plastic) volume control pot. The wiring on the pot terminals is off, ie: not soldered. I looked in the bass cavity and see 4 wires that looked like they used to be on the pot; 2 are orange, one is black and one is blue. Does anyone know how these relate to the 3 soldering posts on the 10k volume pot? I bought a new pot and wantt o get it working again. Thanks!

      .stop turning them as you will break the wire ,pull the knobs of the pots at front and tighten the nut and washer.
      volume pots a B500k tone pots A500. if you need to replace these you’ll have to buy pots with extended shafts as some are too small to go threw the top.

    If you order something from GuitarElectronics.com, you will regret soon. I received my orders except one pickup after 2 weeks. According to their email, they were not even out of stock. The last one pickup had not shipped after one month, so I cancelled that.
    This was a horrible experience.
