QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Aug 9 2009, 02:18 AM)  Pretty crowded in there! First of all remove that clip that holds together all the cables so that you can move them arround and get a better view. Don't worry about it looking not tidy as long as everything works! You are right, the big marked cable that splits into lots of little ones is you humbucker multiconductor, you can pull out your humbucker to be sure of it if it moves! Unsolder all the little cables coming from the big one so that you can pull the humbucker out. Put in the new humbucker and pull the cable into the cavity. And now onto the soldering... You have to solder the green and the bare cable ON TOP of the volume knob to ground the pickup. The red and white cable are usually for coilsplitting but since they are not in use, you can twist the tips together and tape it of so that it can't touch anything else... Finally you solder the black cable to the volume knob, right where your old humbucker was connected to and you are done! http://www.seymourduncan.com/images/produc.../501005-110.pdf shouldn't one cable go to the 5way switch? Like the blue one ATM? So the bare and green one go exactly where the bare is atm  That's easy  BTW, the place my old humbucker was on the volume, that's the most left of the three spots right? Also, with al the sending costs I'll pay 50 euros for the TB-4, I'm making the deal atm, we're now at the stage of getting his acount number, and asking whether he shortened the wires to fit in his guitar!

We thought that I should do what you said, BUT connect the black wire to the 5way, not to the tone pot (yep it was tone, not volum )would that be possible? that way you're still not splitable, using green and bare for ground, red and white taped together, and black for 5way |

Lol, the pulled pot does make a sound, more noise then pushed, and a lot less hot.... kinda odd

lower output, higher hum? Sounds like it's successfully running the bridge pickup as just a single-coil then.
Grats, you tapped your coil correctly? (try it on clean channel, should be a better illustration of the differences) -------------------- ::jafomatic
