  • I can't find the wiring diagram I'm looking for.

    I recently got a free non-working bass guitar that I'm trying to fix. I am looking for a wiring diagram for it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't know the make of the guitar, but here's what I do know:

    - It has 2 passive pickups
    - Each pickup has it's own selector switch, which is a DTDT on-on switch.
    - There is one volume control, and one Tone control (I assume so, it's labelled 'T')
    - There's one 1/4" output. Obviously!

    I can find diagrams close to this, but none that match exactly.

    I've already inspected the wiring, and apart from confirming the wiring setup, everything looks physically in order. Aside from testing every component, is there anything I can try first? It seems like a very straightforward system that has very limited number of things that can go wrong.

    Any advice that you have would be much appreciated! Maybe even a way to determine exactly what kind of bass I have. It looks a little like a cheaper Squier bass, but it appears the neck has been replaced and doesn't have any name on it.

    Thank you!

    A picture is worth a 1000 words, 2 pictures are worth 5000 words.
    The more pics you have, the less typing you'll have to do.
    A dpdt switch would be on/off/on, is this what you have, or is it just an on off switch?
    6 pieces of wood with wires
    1 big box with a bunch of little glass bottles & 2 big round black things
    1 little red & white & black box with 2 little glass bottles that sits on
    a wood box with 2 big round black things.
    1 little black box with 2 slightly bigger black boxes under it.

          Here's photos of the guitar. Is it a Fender?
