I need to find a wiring diagram for a StingRay 5...
Long story short, several years ago, I (foolishly) swapped pickups in my SR5... it's since been returned to stock. Since then, the wires have been somewhat sensitive...
A week or 2 ago, I had my pickguard off for some maintenance, and one of the wires coming from the pickup and soldering to the preamp came off... actually I think it broke off... either way, it's completely my fault. I went to solder it back on, the right way this time, and a second wire broke off. So now, I think I have it right, but I'm still suspicious that I may have swapped the 2 wires, and I may have done something to the ground.
The different settings on the 3-way switch sound a little different to me, and I coulda swore that before this, when the bass is in single-coil mode, only the bridge coil worked... is that right? I get noise from both when I (gently) tap them with a screwdriver (although the bridge coil is definitely stronger than the neck coil). Also, I now get a faint buzzing when I'm not touching something metal on the bass. If i see a diagram, I'm confident I can wire it back up correctly. Don't have much cash right now, otherwise I'd send it to EBMM with my tail between my legs. Appreciate any help!!
