I have a 80s Jazz Special. The one with the P-Bass neck pickup (3 knobs). The bridge (Jazz pickup) position isn't working, so I'm looking for a wiring diagram. I haven't located one on the Fender site.

Did you bass have active pickups ? With battery ? If yes these tests may not work for you ;


Do you have a meter , Ohmeter ?
It is a must

1- Read how many ohms you have direct on the pickups wire . On the switch. Pickup bad reading will be "infinite" or same if your meter probe are not connected or reading will be very high like 50 k and more
If PU read bad you nee a new PU.

If pickup read good ;

2- Put the PU switch to select this pu . Take a reading in ohms from you output jack . You can pug a guitar cord and read from the plug .Same reading as in 1

If reading is wrong ; wiring or switch is defective.

You can put switch to select other pu and see how they read to know what you must read with your defective pu

Thanks.
It turns out its the switch.
The jack is on its way out as well, so I might as well take care of that while I'm at it.
