Wiring glitch

I just finished my 1st 4 string using a crocker mag pickup. I wired it like the diagram strung it up and no sound from my amp. Take a look at these pics and see if you spot something. My first other than a Piezo

  • as elwwod spotted, it does look as if the black wire doesn't make it to the pickup, but perhaps that's just the angle.

    if you unsolder one of the pickup wires from the pot, and read across them, you should get a resistance from the pickup of several Kohms.

    if you do have to resolder at the pickup, be careful.  too much heat can melt right through the winding wire at the solder point. if the pickup is your problem, perhaps you could contact ted for further advice?

    by the by, it also looks as if you have wired the pot in reverse, which means clockwise is quieter, anti-clock louder.
