What i had in mind was to wire it straight to the jack, or through the 9v battery (as on those familiar S-D schemes). Are those pickups active? they have 3 out-wires : one red single and thick white coaxial.
So.. if anybody knows some easy way to make the bass sing without buying a new active el. (i don't need controls), i'd be very thankful.
all the best,

yep, the red goes to the battery (they are active pups). does the bass also have active tone, or just pots (w/o circuitry)? the center of the coax can go to the hot tang on the jack, the coax jacket can go to the ground tang, and the battery ground can go to the "ring" tang. as far as "singing"...if you don't want to replace the pups, you might look into an aggi onboard pre. easy on the wallet, and a great performer.
Please help with active MEC bypassing
