help needed!
i messed up my p bass pick up trying to replace a tone control- what happened was a wire from one of split pick ups popped off, and i have no idea how to fix it, so i decided to just a buy whole set used- found this on ebay, its what i want- all pre wired, but i dont understand what that loose red and black wires would be for! TIA- john https://www.ebay.com/itm/15468330180...2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

No idea.
I would expect a wire to ground the bridge with. And if that, I would expect it to be black. A red and black coming from pickup with the controls and jack already wired together? I thought maybe for a battery box but nothing suggests this is an active pickup in the eBay listing.

That set linked from eBay isn't fully pre-wired. You need to connect the pickup to the pots.
It's going to look sort of like this: https://guitarelectronics.com/p-bass...iring-diagram/ I also have this document I could email you, but may only apply to a 70's PB like mine. Fender (official) 70s Precision Bass Service Diagram 013-2010A_SISD.pdf

 I was using a tablet to view the photo. Now on my desk top with the big monitor and your suggestion in mind and that's exactly my conclusion, as well. This set isn't fully wired and that's the pickup wires to the controls that dangling out to the side.

thx all- the guy explained something about having to cut the wires to remove them from p bass because of a channel- i dont understand, but he said if i bought it, he'd solder it up for me so all i have do to is drop it in, so i bought it for $16 shipped being i need the whole set up now, hopefully thats all i have to do

Note that different manufacturers use different color coded wiring schemes. I wasn't able to find one for Washburn but here's an image from Seymour Duncan that shows different wiring colors just to show that any color can be used.
