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.

Works like a charm

The instructional sheets always seem to be lacking (symbols w/ no key), but I figured this one out.
Sounds great & easy to wire.

Everything You Need

I've used this kit on two different P-Bass refurb projects with great results both times.

Go ahead ... It's Easy

Recently I restored a vintage Epiphone Accu-Bass that had had a lot of hard use. I replaced the PUPs with Stew-Mac EMG's and found that the original wiring was simply shot. The wiring was rotten and falling apart. I replaced the wiring, pots and input jack with the Stew-Mac Wiring Kit for P-bass. Now the bass has new pups, new wiring, new pots and a new jack. There is more than enough of every type of wiring to complete the job neatly and professionally. My restored bass now looks and sounds great. I would recommend doing this whenever replacing pups or restoring any vintage ax. Knowing the electronics are brand new instills confidence that your instrument won't fail at a critical moment.

P-bass wiring kit.

I've used these many times for custom basses as well as repairing vintage basses. Great quality with more than enough wire to complete a P-bass project. Buy an extra output jack, capacitor, and (2) pots and you can wire up 2 basses! My only suggestion to StewMac is to offer a vintage wireing kit with the cloth pushback wire.
