Wiring Kit for P-Bass


Read 14 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Guitar wiring at its simplest — one volume and one tone. Same as found on P-Bass®, single pickup Gibson® Les Paul® Juniors, lap steels, and many other instruments. All the parts you need, plus a diagram to show you how.

The standard kit is an economical choice for any wiring job. It has standard PVC-insulated wire and Alpha pots.

The premium kit features cloth-covered push-back wire — the right wire for Fender and vintage-style guitar circuitry. The pots in this kit are upgraded to CTS brand for longer life and a smoother, more accurate response.

Simplicity itself.

The kit arrived a week earlier than anticipated, and was a breeze to install and vastly superior to the pots in the original kit bass! I am thrilled with my first StewMac purchase, and it won't be the last.

Great Value!

Used this to repair/rewire friend's Ibanez p-bass. Good quality parts, everything you need.

Perfect for cigar box guitar too

Highly recommended for cigar box guitar builders. Exactly what you need for a one pickup configuration. The tone knob is very effective allowing you to dial in very mellow tones or very bright depending on your pickup. Make sure you measure your wire or have extra because there's just barely enough.

Easy kit even for beginners

Everything you need to wire a p-bass. Plenty of wire. Instructions are clear for anyone with very little experience but a complete novice will want to go on line and pull up some more wiring diagrams. Easy to find those with Google. Also, if you don't have soldering skills, learn to do this first and practice on some scrap wire twisted together before you attempt this. Anyone who has solder and wiring skills will find this to be extremely simple. Works great as well. I used it for a project bass that started with a used body and nothing else. You can do this! Go for it!

ok...

Parts are of okay quality, but it would be nice to have the kits use the CTS vintage style pots. The wiring diagram is hard to read compared to the one EMG supplies.

Well packaged

Provided everything I needed to wire up my p-bass. Instructions and wiring diagrams were accurate, though they left enough uncertainty that I reversed the volume knob wiring on my first go. That'll cost you a star. :-)

I used to have really scratchy pots and these solved my problem instantly. Great packaging/shipping and super easy instructions. I highly recommend this set for any Pbass!!!!

A great kit for the beginner

This is great for people who may have not done allot of electrical/solder work in the past. Easy to follow diagram and everything you need for the project in one kit
