HELP : SMB5a came with unsoldered wires

[malhomme]

Hello people..

I have bought a SMB5a and unfortunately, some wires (two) are unsoldered on the back of the pick up. Since I bought it through internet and I live in France, sending it back is not an option.

The following two wires are unsoldered red, and ground. Red, I can figure where it goes.

For the ground wire, I see no point where it could have been previously attached/soldered, though the wire exhibit a little bit of soldering stuff on it.

Does anyone has a picture of the BACK of the puu, please ? Or maybe can explain me where this wire is connected to the back ?

Thanks to you in advance.

On the SMB-5a, the backs of the coils should be covered with copper shielding foil. The bare wire should be soldered directly to that foil. Just find the easiest spot for soldering. That should take care of it.
