Soldering to the 152B Panel Jack:
If your instrument has a long Panel Jack like the one below
you will have to solder the output cable as shown.
Ground (Black) to the sleeve
Signal (White) to the Tip
Battery Negative (Black) to the Ring
- 9V +
If your instrument has a selection switch:
Shown at the right is the EMG B245 Pickup Buss which is used for
instruments that have 2 pickups and a 3 position selection switch.
If you have a selection switch and want your installation to
remain solderless, you’ll need a B245 Buss.

Installation with Mounting Standoffs:
The included mounting standoffs may assist in the pickup
installation process for certain instruments. The standoffs
slip onto the long adjustment screws prior to mounting
the pickups. This prevents the screws from being driven
too deeply into the instrument. The standoffs are
not
intended for use with the short adjustment screws.
