I have a Bud Pro 1 with the double pole pick up.
I tried another pick up in the Bud & decided to put the single\double pick up back in.
As luck would have it, I lost the wiring diagram I made for it 
Can some one show me a Pic or tell me which wire goes where for the little switch & pick up.
The Bud has a red,white,and black wires
.
The red wire and the black wire ,come from the pick up & the black wire must be a ground wire

| Black is ground and red goes on one side and white goes on the other side of the switch. The lead wire comes from the middle of the switch and goes to the plus side of the jack. The black wire, of course goes to the minus side of the jack. I believe that the red is your double coil wire and the white is single coil. It doesn't matter left or right, just that whatever you put them on will determine the direction of the switch. I have mine installed so that the coil splits when the switch faces toward the front of the guitar. Without a meter I couldn't tell you which wire is hotter. I have a D-10 and both pick-ups are different. I just used a meter to measure the ohms. I hope this helps. |

| Craig is dead on. I'd add this, make sure you run your ground wire under a changer bracket screw or you spring bracket(strip a little insulation off to expose the ground wire, of course), then to your jack, to ensure a good ground, or you could get a hum when you take your hands off of your strings. Radio Shaack has the replacement switch for your coil tap, and they look period correct. Part #275-613 if you want to replace it while you are tore down. |
