Hello everyone, I had bought a Black Ice single coil from CB Gitty, (Not the black cube capacitor from Stewmac).
I noticed it came with 3 wires; Red, White and Bare. Last time I saw this kind of wiring were for some EMG active pickups. I don't think the Black Ice pickup is an active one, nor does it say it on their website. But it does say Red=positive, White=negative and bare=ground.
I plan to pair the Black Ice with CB's Dual Rail pickup on my build but not sure about the Black Ice's wiring.
Do I combine the red and white for a hot signal or am I supposed to really connect a battery to it?
Thanks in advance, I really like to know, now that my build is still in its infancy, I may need to make a cavity for the battery.

I'm not the best source of information on electrical stuff, but I believe you need to hook the red as output (positive) and the white and bare will both go to ground.
The bare wire is the shield wire, also negative, so join that with the negative wire?
Thomas is correct. Red = positive, white/bare = negative/ground.
