Dynasty Bass Pickup Problem;(

hi, i just got an Dynasty-Bass from `84. He is very "silent", my other (active)bass is extremely loud on my marshall-stack, but the Dynasty is so...cute? and there are disturbing ...noises, sorry about my english.... I took a look under the bridge, this cable is ok. If i touch the bridge its silent. Where is the volume of the bass? cant be so low?

More than likely one dead coil in the pickup.
These pickups are prone to it.

Is it wired right?

Yes it is, i got the wiring Diagram before the Bass was there maybe a cold solding point? Or.. Two Red wires Come from the pickup, this two has to be soldered on the White wire wich comes with the groundwire wich goes to the groundplate right? This connection dis-and reconnected

One Red wire was disconnected from a coil, is it ok just to get it back under the tape of the coil?

Has to be connected to the coil wire beginning or end of the winding.

If your lucky it's at the end of the winding.

If all else fails try this.

Oh my God, this wire is so thin, i never could Sold it

Yes you can...

Wrap it around the red a good few times and solder.

Done so... resold all connections of the potis, fixed the ground to the bridge, 2 cables found a better place , and now the wiring is really as it is on the diagram..... The humming is a little bit lower but still there, bass  output still  fudge poop:) I took my wireless Sytem... Humming was away! but the output...this beast can´t be so silent and thin.... i really think i killed the Pickup while restauration..

i saw pictures where 1 of the 2 red wires from the pickup was sold down on the groundplate where the unsealed wire was solt too?

soooo...what kind of replacement could i take and glue in into the cap? This Musicman-style thing dont fit into the dynasty?

Why?

Because they Talk about an GT Bass. It's equal?

So i could take a cheap musicmanstyle replacement pickup, and can glue it Into the original pickupcap? What is the effect When the Tone or the Volumepots or the condensator are damaged? Silence? Humming?

or could it be that  the black wires that connect the coils together , have to be connected to the ground too?! i found no pictures from the connection to the pickup itself

damned, on thomann i saw a wiring for humbuckers.... however, the black wires that connect the pickups are always grounded mhh? are the Magnabassthings parallel or serial connected?

Ignore the Thoman site. The wires are different.

Didn't you take a note or photo when taking apart?

1 wire, the beginning of the first coil can be grounded.

They're in series.

You mentioned the pickup was working in the first place prior to taking apart.

Ah Seriesly? Hehehehehehe. Ok, THEN i Made it wrong! I connected just the two hot reds with the white one!
