Question How do I convert a Bartolini MK1 from Active to Passive on a Cort Curbow?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi, I have a Cort Curbow with a Bartolini MK1 and I like to convert it from active to passive. I'd also like to remove the slap depth and gain circuit board from the back. How can I do this? Could anyone help and provide me with a wiring diagram?

Hope somone can help.

Thanks,
Craig.

I have the same problem, due to the fact that the circuit board fried 2 resistors. If anyone has a schematic or knows where to get one it would help much.
Or if someone knows where to buy parts for the cort curbow with mighty mite pickup, that would help...
If I have to I will buy the whole eq system from Bartolini.
thx

are you looking to replace with active (preamp) or passive?

I just caved in and ordered a 2.5 bartolini eq.
so preamp..
I was hoping to find the specs on the 2 burnt resistors on the circuit board.
BUT, I still am interested in the ability to bypass and go passive.
I may need to do this in the future.
thanks

Howdy. Here's a link to the active-to-passive process.
