| I'm about to buy a Magnum I, but it was rewired to mono. Does anyone have a wiring diagram I can follow to add the second output jack to make into a stereo bass gain and to make sure that everything is wired correctly?
Thanks

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | If it still has both jacks it's likely a pretty easy fix as long as both pickups work. I can't imagine why anyone would 're-wire' the guitar to go mono when it comes that way already. I don't have the wiring diagram, but I'm sure someone does. I've been inside enough of them, it's nothing complicated.
I have updated your access and moved this into the general area so more people can respond. |

| Actually the pickgaurd cracked and the owner then had it rewired to mono with a new pickgaurd, but I want to bring it back to the way it's supposed to be with a new pickgaurd and stereo output. He says everything is original and in working condition except the pickgaurd.
If anyone has or can draw me a wiring diagram/schematic that would be awesome.
Thank you Mr.Ovation for moving the thread for me  |

| Well someone on Talkbass said to wire it up like a Rickenbacker 4003. Would this work. I don't have the bass yet and don't know how many wires come out of the pickups. When I did my P/J bass each pickup only had two wires coming out. The rick seem to have more according to diagrams I've seen. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Post back when you get the bass. You may find the "re-wire" was just not using the stereo jack. If I recall it's wired stereo... mono is just combining the two leads at the jack. They aren't stereo pickups. Bridge pickup one channel, neck pickup the other. Pretty straight forward. |

I will repost when I get the bass. I'm sure I just have to rewire the stereo Jack as well. I just wanted to have a whole diagram to make sure everything is wired correctly and for future reference.

I did email ovation I asked for any info on the bass as well as a wiring diagram. They could only provide around when it was built. |
