Hi guys!
Im going to buy an aguilar obp3 tk, with bass, mid, trebble, swtich for mid range, etc...
Im thinking to put a push/pull pot for volume and passive/active option.
Can you tell me what push pull pot I need?
500k?
250k?
Im very confuse about electronics!
Thanks a lot!!

I had Seymour Duncan Bassline soapbars on my Warmoth and I think I used 500Ks (can't remember - that was almost seven years ago).
Hope that helps. |

Thanks you very much!!! | If those are passive pickups, you need to move the volume pot before the preamp and increase the value. 500k would be preferable to prevent excessive loading on the coils, since they had no load from the volume pot to begin with. |

Thanks a looot! | Active pickups are relatively rare. I'm pretty sure those pickups are passive. Have a look at the wiring, to be sure, however. Active pickups will connect to the battery. |
