Just picked up an old Aria Pro II SB-R80
Controls include a pair of stacked Vol-tone for each pickup, plus a three way pickup selector... I'm thinking there's a bit of overlapping there, it's not all entirely necessary. I was thinking about replaing the second volume and tone with a stacked bass-treble boost instead, but keeping the passive tone on the other stacked knob. I've got a Bart NTCT on a Bacchus 5 which is very nice indeed, anyone else got any other suggestions worth thinking about? |

I'm seriously consider a Volume, Blend, Stacked B/T, & Passive Tone on a 4-knob bass of mine.

Two bands, almost as small as a tone control, 3 selectable treble frequencies and works with any pickups.

Of course, this is assuming your passive pickups sound good to begin with. The bass control on the Aguilars is centered at the perfect frequency. I've installed 3 of them & the results have always been fantastic. Good luck!
