These measurements were taken from a Genuine Fender pickguard, but I do allow for 'give' in the wire lengths between components to allow for small differences so there is some wiggle room for installation, it's not a 'fixed' measurement by any means. The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.370" / 9.4mm so I recommend for ease of install a control plate with a 0.394" / 10mm pot mounting hole. The jack socket I use in this kit again is imperial specification, the outer thread diameter measures 0.367" / 9.32mm and ideally requires a 0.394" / 10mm hole to comfortably mount.Ĭentre to centre measurements between components are -Ĭentre of volume pot to centre of tone pot - 41mmĬentre of tone pot to centre of jack socket - 34mm Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard that is already suited to the US spec components. So depending on where your musicmaster was manufactured will be the deciding factor on whether the pots will be a direct fit, or the pickguard will need modification to fit. The components I use in my Signature Series wiring kits are for the most part, USA imperial specification. I have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Musicmaster bass, as well as writing in depth fitting guides, how-to instructions documenting the step by step process as well as a simple to follow wiring diagram. But here are some important spec and fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your bass guitar and what is required to allow it to fit correctly. If you do require US spec control knobs, we do carry a selection of popular options in stock and they can be viewed in the control knob categories on the store. So best recommendation if you're not sure, go for split shaft as they can always be converted easily, whereas with solid shaft pots you are tied to that as the only choice. Useful tip - If you haven't decided what style of control knobs you are going to use, and can't make up your mind yet, I would recommend choosing the split shaft version as I also offer brass conversion sleeves which would convert split shaft to solid shaft pots with ease. Both are a different size and measurements are detailed below. Split shaft pots use push-fit control knobs whereas solid shaft pots require control knobs that fix to the pot via a grub screw. This ultimately comes down to what control knobs you plan to use on the bass. If you are just ordering the wiring harness, this option is not relevant.įor this kit I offer the choice of what spec of pot shaft you require. If you choose the pickup additionally, you are given the choice of a white, or black pickup cover. Lead times for each option chosen can be found right at the top of this product listing. If you don't wish to have the pickup and simply want the wiring kit/harness, then you can certainly do so here too. If you would like to order my wiring kit pre-wired to a McNelly Broncomaster pickup, select it via the drop down menu. Full description and demo video for this pickup can be found HERE. This pickup was designed by Tim McNelly specifically for the Bronco and Musicmaster bass, it features a true bass pickup design and has a great double pole piece design and hotter output for a full tone. I offer this pre-wired loom/harness kit as a complete upgrade alongside a pre-wired McNelly Broncomaster bass pickup. With or without McNelly Broncomaster bass pickup? This, along with the McNelly Pickups replacement pickup, specifically designed for Bronco and Musicmaster turns this bass into a serious tonal instrument. I am a big fan of short scale basses, and the Musicmaster is one of the best!, So I looked at creating a 'drop-in' wiring harness upgrade, using the high quality components I use on my other harnesses such as CTS 'TVT' pots, Pure Tone multi contact jack, Gavitt wire and vintage style yellow mustard tone capacitor. Please note this if you place a full kit order.
