Is There à pickup plan for
À Bass with p/j pickups
And 4 or maybe 5 potmeters
And maybe a slap switch?

sure. just about any 3 band EQ preamp can have 5 pots (volume-volume[blend]-treble-mids-bass). the slap switch I am not so sure about. maybe you can find happiness with a mid frequency selector or an active/passive switch or a series/parallell switch?

actually, the seymour duncan 3 band preamp has a "slap" switch.

THE whole bass

RedLeg · #6 10-29-2011, 03:57 AM

are you wanting to design and build your own preamp for a bass?

thats beyond me i am afraid. I am merely a tinkerer that can read a schematic and solder!

I would start with older active preamp schematics. I found a few pre ernieball MM preamp schematics online. maybe that is a good jumping point for you.

But one more question,
What exactly is à ntbt

RedLeg · #11 10-29-2011, 04:06 AM

Maybe do a double preamp (like the warwick masterman setup). One treble and bass circuit for each pickup?

RedLeg · #12 10-29-2011, 04:07 AM

ntbt is a bartolini preamp
