I was wondering if anyone may have a link, or PDF of wiring for both a 4-wire Jazz Bass from Seymour Duncan, and 8S Bartolini P-bass pickup (which has one lead, and one braided)  I'm installing these two together. These are both from ebay, and came with no wiring diagrams.  Thanks!

Hi Parker,

Go to Duncan's website, they have wiring diagrams on there for all their PUPs.

As for the Bartolini, when you say one wire and a braid, is the one wire inside the braid, or is their a braid with a single conductor core, plus another single wire. If its the latter, you have an active PUP, and without a buffering preamp, you cannot have these two on at the same time.

The Duncans red and white wire should be soldered together, depending on the phase of the 2 black should be hot and green is ground. Reverse these 2 if out of phase. For the diagram itself check out Seymour Duncans website, or Guitar Electronics.com
Hope this helps, Evan

The Bartolinini is something like this:  the inner most core is a small strand of copper, surrounded by clear plastic.  Wrapped around that is a braid of silver colored wire, of which it looks like the manufacturer had tailed into a strand to solder.  Encasing all of this is a black plastic wire. 


This is different than the previous stock setup, with one black, and one white, and which is shown on the Duncan website (unless i missed something else). 


As far as the Jazz pickup, i think i had that right, except there is one bare silver wire I assumed to be ground, and grounded that. 


Thanks for the help so far, see if this info gives any other suggestions.

The Stewart-Mac website has some wiring diagrams for the pickups they sell. Not sure if they carry the pickups you have, but wouldn't hurt to look.

Looks like Tippie found the duncan schematics. Manufacturer's schematics are always the best.
