Hi, I have built a five string electric upright bass and bought the magnetic pickups used in NS basses. I have a Bartolini preamp to buffer and mix the signal from these and a piezo installed on the bridge.
Three pick-ups are labeled positive, two are negative and one is a null. Here is the description from the seller's site:
The EMG 5SW is a magnetic pickup system designed for Electric Upright Bass. The system was initially designed for Ned Steinberger and is used on NS CR and EU instruments. Price is per set of 6 pieces, made by EMG, cables with in-built connectors, set made of 3 pcs of positive pickup, 2 pcs of negative pickup, 1 pc of null pickup
Should I wire them in series like this:
POS-NEG-POS-NEG-POS-NULL ?
