Just received my Warpig, HELP PLEASE!!!
« on: December 06, 2010, 09:06:42 AM »
Hey guys well I just received my warpig and the painful wait is almost over.

I'm installing it atm and have a few questions.

Basically I got the 4 wire model for the more wiring options however I don't have a push pull pot yet so I need to wire it up normally for now, how would I do this??

Also it's a Fender mex standard strat (I've routed the pickguard for the humbucker) but all my pots are 250k.
So I went and bought 2 dimarzio 500k pots but which pot or pots do I replace?

The warpig is going in the bridge and strats don't have tone pot for that, nor do I want one (they just muddy the tone up imo).

So is the volume pot the only one I need to replace?

Thanks!

For the installation, on the FAQ page of the main BKP site:

What is four conductor wiring? Individual termination of the start and finish leads from each coil of a humbucking pickup to a cable with four separate conductors plus a shield. This allows extremely versatile switching arrangments such as series/parallel, coil split, in/out of phase and so on.

What is the Bare Knuckle Four conductor colour code?

Black =start of screw coil
White = finish of screw coil
Red = start of slug coil
Green = finish of slug coil

For standard series operation solder the red to the pot tag, the black to ground (usually the back of the pot casing) and solder the green and white together.
