- sorry about the delay in writing - basically I know less than nothing about electronics and I wired my pick up by trial and error - soldering and unsoldering wires and pots and switches until it worked so I can't help you - wish I could - if you look at my test video you'll my face shows how I'm expecting to boom and up through the ceiling when I plug it into an amp for the first time - and the next pick up I found for CBG 2 seems to have even more wires - I think you best get good advice from someone who knows what they are talking about - but thanks for asking
