A client dropped off a music man sub bass with a wiring job that was done by someone who didnt quite know how to use a soldering iron. I was able to find the wiring diagram for this model on this forum, however, the pickup in the bass right now has 5 wires and the original diagram pickup is 2 wire. I found another diagram with the 5 lead pickup where the red and white wires are tied together, green is hot and black and bare go to ground.

Just wanted to know if that sounds about right before i tear everything out of this.

TIA
