I'm installing a 710 in my Sho-Bud. There are 2 leads coming out of the 710(white/black).Which wire gets soldered to TIP on my 1/4 " phone jack? I'm also assuming there's no need anymore for the mini-toggle that controlled my dual tap PU.Thanks,Jim

| Jim--the white lead is the hot wire on a Lawrence--goes to the tip. There are no toggle options with a two lead pickup unless you want an on/off switch. |

| Jon,- Thanks,that's what I thought about the 2 lead. Let's say I wanted to use that toggle as a on/off,what is the wirng on that? -Jim |

Depends on the switch--SPDT? DPDT? How many terminals on the back? Bottom line---there may be better ways and I hope someone chimes in if they don't like my answer---but all you need to do to get a circuit interruption is to run a pickup lead to a top or bottom terminal of the switch and run a lead from the center terminal to the output jack.
I'd be interested to know if there is an advantage to running both lead through the switch vs. just one lead (which would require a DPDT switch) or an advantage to ruining the hot or the ground through the switch if you're only running one.---I'm thinking of hum issues or something. Hopefully someone can answer this question for me. |

Jim, it's a SPDT switch. I've found that using it as an on/off switch can cause problems with inadvertent "muting", either by damage (it's in a precarious place), accidental operation, or failure of the switch contacts. I would either remove it or hardwire the terminals for "always on" (short across all three).

If you want to put an On-Off switch on a pickup or a microphone, the best way to wire it is so it shorts the hot lead to ground, rather than have an open circuit.
Shorting the pickup eliminates the hum and pops when the switch is operated. |
