Anybody have a 4004 wiring diagram? The ones on the RIC site are too confusing for this novice.
Thanks!

Re: 4004 wiring diagram?
If I remember Joey's beautiful picture diagram well enough, each pickup hot lead goes to opposite pole ends of the DPDT switch (on/on/on) and meet up at the volume pot by way of a wire from the switch's center lug, where the wiring proceeds almost identical to a P Bass. If you want it to be exactly how RIC does it I think you may need his picture as they wire the tone pot a bit differently than Fender (I think the cap precedes the joint with the center lug and the CCW lug is grounded), but the results are the same.
Re: 4004 wiring diagram?
The tone cap is inline on a 4004, whereas on a Fender it's soldered to the #3 lug and back (ground) of the tone pot. It actually works better that way, particularly when it's not a cheap "chicklet" cap as found in a 4004. The results are not the same.
