If you want Dual Sound capabilities, you will need a double pole,
double-throw miniature switch. This switch is available through your
DiMarzio dealer as part number EP1106.
The switch should be installed in the control compartment. Placement
between the output jack and the tone control is recommended. The
hole size is ¼ inch. Refer to the first illustration. It shows 6 poles on
the bottom of the switch, arbitrarily numbered 1–6.
First follow the instructions in Part 1, section “A” completely.
(Do not follow section “B”.) Then, do the following:
Solder the RED wire from the pickup to pin #1 of the mini-switch.
Solder the WHITE wire to pin #2. Solder the Black wire to pin #3, and
then solder a short connection from pin #3 to pin #5. Solder the
GREEN wire to pin #4. Be sure the GREEN wire does not make
contact with any other pin, or with any “hot” connection in the guitar.
You are now ready to connect the switch to the volume control. For
this, you will need a short length of wire, similar to the colored wires
in the pickup cable. Solder a wire from pin #1 of the mini-switch to the
leg that your old pickup was soldered to. Be careful not to break the
contact that is made on most guitars between this leg of the volume
control and the tone control. Solder a wire from pin #4 to any good
ground. This can be to the back of the pot itself. Be sure this wire
does not make contact with any other pin on the switch, or with any
“hot” connection in the instrument. Try to keep both of the wires from
pins 1 and 4 as short as possible, to minimize any chance of noise.
The wiring is now complete, and the bass can be assembled.
