Mica or anyone...do you have a picture of the wiring harness for the Persuader (vol, vol, filter ) with a Q switch showing all of the connections?
Thank you

If someone with a Persuader could open up the control cavity and get some pictures, I think that might help.

Marlon got the vol, vol, filter controls off Ebay, and then he ordered some pickups and a Q switch from Mica. He's having this installed in a custom bass he's having made by a luthier he knows. But it's not immediately clear how the electronics go together.

So we're hoping some pictures of Persuader electronics will help.

I have a Persuader (VVF) without Q switch. I'm hoping to add one myself shortly, so I hope someone can help out here... If photos without the Q switch would help point you in the right direction at all, just say and I'll put some up.

You can email me with your mailing address and I can send you the schematic.

Emboldened by my first successful picture upload, here goes with some more. Hope they're useful...

The 2 volume pots each have a pickup connected to it by brown friction block. These are top (bridge) and right (neck) in the photos. Neck board has 2 captive leads to the bridge board (grey multicore and a single black). The filter board is the one with the blue/white trimpot on and this takes a 3-wire and a 2-wire friction block feed from the bridge volume. All the other wires (all from the bridge board + battery) go onto various points on the 4-connector jack switch. By the way, Mica, I notice an extra rout top left - would that be the position for the Q switch if fitted? or an extra pot?

Glad to be of service! I ask enough awkward questions on here, It's nice to be able to give something back...
