I own a JP6 MusicMan and I want to install Fishman Fluence pickup's I figure out the switch part but I need a switched 9v power supply can any tell me where on the board I can get switched power from please ?...

Thanks for your Help...
P.S.> only if you where helpful trolls need not apply...
 
This is for a JP6 with Piezo? If so you can follow the red wire from the battery to where it meets the PCB- that's your 9V connection.

I'm not that familiar with the Fluence pickups, but I thought they took 25k pots since they're active. So you'll need to swap out the vol/tone pots for the mags as well.

PS- not the best etiquette to suggest that people here are going to be trolls on your first post here. We're generally pretty helpful.

Would the 9V supply still be switched if they ran it direct to the battery connection to the PCB?

I'm somewhat familiar with the Fluence pickups, and one of the best features they have are the multiple voices each pickup is capable of, so usually I would recommend that they be installed with their own wiring harness so that they can be used to their full potential.

You are correct that they need 25K pots.
 
As far as I understand all of Johns signature guitar have Piezo's ... I didn't ask about the pots but yes they are 25K and all the Fishman Fluence set I have purchased came whit every thing you need..
John wires his guitar position 1 in series position 2 in parallel and position 3 in series ... the Position 2 (Middle is wired so that both are in single coil mode one N one S) ...
I have provided picture the switch Neck side solder the GND(bare) to G and the White(hot) to R on the Bridge side GND(bare) to W and White(hot) to B..
On the Board I marked it whit a red Circle this is switched power, I confirmed it whit my meter.. I'm still investigating if the switch can also be use to wire and switch the single coil taps ...
To Mimic John P. signature wiring!...
Then Add push/pull pot for the 2nd Voice tap ...

Hope this helps some one better then just saying Google it ....

Nice. Worst case, you can always replace the toggle switch with something else, or just find the same one without the PCB on it.
 
Hallo zusammen, Bin neu hier.... meine Name ist Daniel und komme aus Austria. Ich möchte gerne meine JP7 BJ. 2007 auf aktive Fishman umrüsten. Kann mir hier jemand Tip, Schaltpläme geben?
Vielen Dank vorab...

The power supply switching can either be done with a regular switch or a stereo jack. The Fluence kits come with a jack for this but typically in EBMM guitars with an active circuit the stereo jack switch thing is already wired up.

I've put these into two different EBMM guitars and it was no problem using the onboard jack. The included wiring diagram should give you what you need.
