TAOT Wiring Kit - Fender Jazz Bass j-Bass - Solid Shaft - Orange Drop Cap

Just used this to replace the worn out controls on a 77 Fender PJ. Excellent quality parts, the bass sounds tons better and works perfectly now. The pre-tinned cloth wire made the wiring very easy.My only tiny quibble is the wiring diagram, which is just a page from Fender’s original specs and is kind of incomplete (doesn’t show a ground wire to the jack among other small omissions). I just used a diagram I found online from Seymour Duncan, easier to read and shows everything.BTW, the shielding foil in my photo isn’t included either. It’s not mentioned in the description, I just wanted to make that clear.I would definitely recommend this kit!

Great product had to do a little job shaving a little off the pick guard where it meets the metal plate to make the eletrontics metal plate fit into the cavity it was a little narrow as it goes toward the tone pot on my squire jazz bass no problem everything fit right in. what a differance in tone and it really makes the pickups sound great with the new electronics. My bass came with those dime size pots garbage. would buy from this seller anytime good price and great products.

I was surprised when I opened up this kit. Perhaps I should not have been if I had looked more closely at the contents, but in most guitar wiring, the connection between terminals on the volume pot is made with a so-called "volume kit," which includes a low capacitance capacitor and a low resistance resistor, which together are meant to reduce the degree of alteration of tone as the volume is adjusted.This kit had the typical higher capacitance cap for the tone control, but on top of that, the only other component was a low capacitance cap to stand as the entire "volume kit." I don't know that there is anything wrong with that, but using the cap and resistor together is just so typical.I honestly don't know how big of deal that is in terms of the sound production, but the use of the cap and resistor together has been around for as long as I can recall, so it is unclear to me (aside from the obvious issue of providing less and charging less--but I don't know why they'd want to do that, when the rest of what was sold was all excellent quality) why they send the cap alone for volume tone adjustment.In fact, I blew it on wiring. I was fitting the works into a small wiring cavity, so I cut the legs short on both caps but neglected to use heat sinks, and I fried both of them. That resulted in no conductivity across the volume pot at all, so I had no output through any of the pickup switch settings, and I had to replace the capacitors. As such, I can't comment on the effect of using the capacitor alone for the volume kit. I have no experience of testing it out. Once I realized I had destroyed both caps, I purchased an equal replacement of the volume cap and bought the more typical volume kit, with both cap and resistor, and it is all working fine now.I can't imagine the seller means to argue that the traditional use of the two together is faulty or unnecessary, so I don't know what to make of it (well, in fact, some folks don't bother with either one and don't care about the small change in tone that comes with changing the volume, so in that sense, this may just be literally "better than nothing").Otherwise, everything about this wiring kit was great. The components were all good quality and a big improvement over what I was replacing in the guitar I was rewiring.

This is the second one of these kits that I've bought; I'm very satisfied with them!! It includes 3 CTS audio-taper pots of 250K value, an Orange Drop 47 microfarad capacitor, a generous amount of cloth-insulated pre-tinned wire, and a Switchcraft mono jack. An assembly diagram is included.The components are all of top quality, especially the RUGGED and smooth pots. The cans on the pots are even pre-tinned; assembling this kit is a snap! I used it on a P/J bass project and it works as well for that application as for a straight-up Jazz application.I paid about $17.50 for this kit; about 1/3 the cost of most other kits with high-end components, and MUCH cheaper than premade wiring harnesses. If you can solder, this is the way to go if you're building a bass and want to save without cutting corners!

I have bought several of these kits. Great components and everything you need to make a proper harness except for the control plate.
