The basic steps for installation include:
1. Remove the strings from your bass.
2. Remove the control plate and flip it over.
3. De-solder the original pickup’s wires from the controls and
make sure to remember where they were connected.
4. Remove the pickup from the pickup cavity.
5. If the foam in the cavity of your bass has degraded, then
replace it with the foam included with your pickups.
6. Put your SD bass pickup into the pickup cavity.
7. Tin the wires from the SD bass pickup, and then solder them
into place.
8. Replace the control plate.
9. Re-string your bass, and adjust the pickup to string distance
to about 1/8” for the bridge and 3/16” for the neck.

Congratulations on your purchase of a fine, hand-built,
Seymour Duncan bass guitar pickup! Installing this pickup
in your bass isn’t rocket science. And, if you’re already handy
with tools, it’ll be a snap for you,and fun too! But if you have
no experience handling red-hot soldering irons, you’d be
well advised to take your new pickup and your trusty
bass to a qualified guitar tech.
