Help needed.Wiring diagramm on 91 silo HSH

[ghostinabottle]

couldn´t find anything on the internet.
the preowner seemed to have tryed some alternate wiring mods.
could anyone help me by putting it back to original-i gues it was
1.neck.
2.necksplit-middle
3.middle
4.necksplit -bridge
5.bridge

the humbucker are 151 by dimarzio and th SC is not named

ok.found it by myself.but another issue still worries me.
there only a harsh sound coming out of the bridge PU.wenn the tone pot is rolled back,the tone´s almost gone,i mean its almost quiet
all other settings sound great.i looked at the soldering junctions,but everxthings was fine.even switching the capaciator to a differnt one didnt get much better

 

[jamminjim]

email ebmm here and ask for an original schematic to make sure the wiring is correct.

does the tone control work properly in every other setting? are the pickups original?

Are You sure the 4th was necksplit-bridge? Wiring middle-bridgesplit seems to be more popular in HSH combination with 5 way switch...
Here is wiring diagram from Seymour Duncan, hope this will help.

the tone control works in other positions fine.just not in the brdge setting as mentioned.
i guess the pick ups are stock,but im not sure,cause there has been some more work be done like routing a tremolo cavity.

the sound of the bridge HB is just without bass, and less powerful and more low voiced

well i think so.i counted it like pos1-neck and so on,i guess it should be the opposite


oh no i meant bridge split middle of course.already totally confused

 

[ghostinabottle]

the seymour duncan i tried as well.the problem is the different colour code on the cables .dimarzio got different ones.

 

[ghostinabottle]

finally i came out with this one,http://www.dimarzio.com//media/diagrams/C.pdf just to recognize it was still the same

 

[Mordimer]

So it is:
1.neck.
2.necksplit-middle
3.middle
4.middle-bridgesplit
5.bridge

Maybe because You wired the 4th as necksplit -bridge it causes some polarity problems, which makes signal less strength...

 

[ghostinabottle]

no i just wrote it wrong

 

[ghostinabottle]

after doing some research on the internet,i guess that the HB is somewaht out of "phase" as so it sounds.
But the connections are made correctly,i´m sure.could it be that there is a mistake within the humbucker?
anyone an idea?

send me a PM with your email adress! send you a pdf with wiring

If you get stuck, drop me a PM and I'll see if I can help. I'd say that if the wiring is correct to the diagram, the next step would be to unsolder the bridge p'up and try wiring it up on it's own (alligator clips are really handy). Try and figure out whether it's functioning correctly or not.

 

[ghostinabottle]

do you mean i should change the cable with its five wires?.
yes this is what i´m actually trying out.
maybe theres a crack in one of the wires or what do you thing?

another question.should the pin on the tone pot ,which is left over be bend up to ground the tone pot?
I remembered to do so on a strat with 3 singelecoils.

http://www.dimarzio.com//media/diagrams/C.pdf is this diagram correct?

 

[beej]

That diagram is a bit different than the stock MM wiring. PM Mick or me your email address and we can send you the MM diagram so you can compare.

Btw, the way a tone pot is normally wired is to have one lug connected to the volume pot (where it meets the output of the selector switch) and the middle lug (the "wiper") connected to a capacitor which is, in turn, connected to ground. The other lug should not be connected to anything.

96 Silo schematic sent ...

 

[ghostinabottle]

Thank you J.

 

[ghostinabottle]

Strike! I made it after all.
I rewired the bridge HB with a new 5-core-wire and wired the rest of it due to the schematic from JamminJim.

excuse me ,gotta play my Balls now
Thanks to everyone

 

[beej]

Nice, congrats man. Happy playing

 

[jamminjim]

sorry I took so long getting it to ya bro - hope you have many happy hours of playing.
