    Looking for a P/J Wiring Diagram

    Hello all, I just got a set of Bill Lawrence's P-46 pickups to wire in with my Bootstrap Hot Jazz to see how that combo works, but I noticed on the diagram that the "blend" is actually just another tone or something like that and not a 6 lug pot that I'm used to. I found that there were some...

    How often do you actually use your volume knob?...

    (Gratuitous shot of my P that has no volume) I was wondering how many of you actually use their volume and if so, how often and in what context. I realized that I had never touched the volume on this particular instrument and that seemed like a waste of knob. So, what was the volume is now the...

    Bill Lawrence J-45 - Alternate Wiring and FYI

    Howdy, I wanted to formally post info on the Bill Lawrence J-45 pickups. It's a little difficult to receive an abundance of info on these so I figured I'd add my own to help give someone with questions an idea. The standard wiring diagram on their website calls for the usage of a blend knob...

    Repairing Gibson super humbuckers?

    I recently bought a Ripper that the seller wasn't completely sure about. I don't know much about pickups, but these pups do not sound like any Ripper I've ever played; they're extremely noisy and yet somehow very subdued. Since it's not a cheap bass, he is willing to give me a partial refund to...

    Bill Lawrence Wilde pickups and instruments

    Ok found this group following a link about Bill Lawrence. Very annoyed reading about Bill being ripped off. Met him after getting his endorsement for our band while he was building instruments here in PA. So naturally all my basses were loaded with his pickups. Just loved listening to Bill...

    Bill Lawrence Wilde Bass

    Ok reading posts about Bills pickups sad to see him being ripped off by fakers. Met Bill Lawrence in the 90's when he was here in PA building instruments and of course pickups. We had his endorsement so of course his pickups went into all my basses. But loved just listening to him explaining...

    This is not a "which is better" poll

    Hey talkbassians I have a warmoth PJ that I bought in the classifieds here a few years back. I play 5 string pretty much exclusively these days and I don't play it anymore, so I'm going to put it back up for sale. It has a quarter pounder P and a dimarzio ultra jazz J. I have two other sets of...

    How to wire this pickup. Bill Lawrence P-bass three conductor.

    I bought this from a luthiery shop: a Bill Lawrence wound pickup from 1980, with three wires. I think it obvious that the red is ground, but what all can (or should) be done with the other wires? I believe that both the black and white are signal wires.

    Bill Lawrence J-45 low output?

    I have a Warmoth P with a BL P-46 that I took to a tech to install a J-45 bridge p/u that I had previously in a J bass. He called today saying that the J p/u has a very low output compared to the P p/u. Says that when the volume (it's wired v v t) is full up on both, the P drowns out the J. He...

    The BL when soloed sounds great. The jazz pickup soloed sounds the way it should, but both together sounds like a radio. I found this: GZR P/J Pickups - Bridge p/up cannot be solo'd. What did I do wrong? White Wire -- Hot Black/Blue Wires -- Ground Red/Green Wires -- Twist together...

    I received and installed a set of Bill Lawrence P46s in my Warmoth P today. Holy. Crap. Those pickups are amazing. The clarity and punch is miles ahead of the SD SPB-3s I had in there previously. The SPB-3s aren't bad and the P46s are better than my EMG Geezer Butlers which were my previous...
