Well, I thought I understood it...
When reading a schematic, grounds (the little triangle of lines) are connected to the negative end of the battery right? So if there is a +9Vdc, you would connect all the grounds to an imaginary -9Vdc. Is this correct, or am I way off?
So, knowing this I am attempting to wire the pick-ups in a guitar I'm currently repairing. I noticed that some of the leads to the potentiometers, and some of the leads of the pickup are grounded, however obviously there is no battery. My question is, what are these grounded to?
I guess maybe I just don't understand, so if in addition to these questions somebody could explain to me what a ground really is, that would be apprecitated.
