Knob functions?

Sign in to disble this ad
I just recently took up bass and after searching around and trying out a few basses here and there I finally settled on an Ltd ESP F-154DX. Unfortunately, the store I bought it from was short staffed (A lot of people on last minute summer holidays) so the only guy working wasn't a bassist and didn't really know too much about the instrument.

My problem is that there are 5 knobs and I have no real idea as to what they do. There was no manual and the guy wasn't 100% sure which was for what. So after playing around I've pegged the top 2 as Master Volume and Pickup Selector/Blender. The bottom three I'm not so sure about... Does anybody here have any ideas?

Thanks, and sorry if this is in the wrong section. I figure this has to do with electronics so I posted here.

Bass, Mid and Treble I'm guessing, not familiar with the particular bass but I can't think of anything else.

i think, depending on how many pickups there are, it would have to be volume knobs for the individual pickups and a tone knob.

I'd bet on bass, mids, and treble. If you already have a master volume and a blend knob, individual pickup volumes would serve no purpose.

Thank you very much for the responses. I was afraid I met get raged at for asking. I've played with them a bit more and I think they are the Bass/Mid/Treble knobs.

@ King_xanadu
It has 2 pickups.
