Wiring a JB Jr. bridge pickups on a cutlass SSS.

[saintpascal]

Hi,
First of all I want to point out that I am not very knowledgeable about electronics or changing pickups. I have a Seymour Duncan JB Jr. that I would like to install on my Cutlass SSS to replace the single coil on the bridge side. I don't want to complicate anything, I just want to install the pickup the right way. I imagine it must be the same wiring principle as the HSS version of the Cutlass? So if I could get my hands on the electronics schematic for the HSS model I would be okay? Anyone here have that? Thanks for your help.

I have one I got from support a while ago. I think the preference is not to post them in the forums but I will send you a PM.

EDIT:
PM sent. You may want to check the values on your pots. The HSS boards come with 500K pots and use a parallel resistor so the singles see 250K. Some people say the JB is intended to be used with 250K pots anyway so it may be a non-issue. Either way, I've thought about going with a JB Jr on my own Cutlass so please report back with the results and any clips you record.

Just moved this to the right forum ... missed it earlier.

If you need a hand while wiring it up just let us know.

That's good.
Should I delete my post or just move it to the right place? In both cases, I'm looking but can't find how to do either.

All good. I moved it. You're in "Ernie Ball Music Man Guitars" now.
