Probably best if you email the shop. We can sort out specifics and give you pricing if the layout is different than the standard offerings. That said, I think you need a 5 knob layout and if you want to keep the passive tone knob you'll want to stack the treble on the bass.

Our 3 band has switchable mid frequencies. I hope that's apparent from our website. The highs are pretty similar on all the preamps we make. You will need to email us to custom order a Big Split bridge pickup for your bass. We don't have them listed at this time.

Our 3 band is great. Or you could do a 2 band with a passive tone. We cover all the options pretty well on our website.

Hey thanks!!

Very cool. It is definitely a great looking bass and I think it's the only one I ever did with binding on the headstock.

Wow! I hope it lives up to the memory. :-)

No, that's part of the beauty of that bass. You can go anywhere from a fat dark passive thing to a modern bright active thing. It covers a ton of ground and you should feel free to use all of it depending on what the situation calls for.

John is correct. If you want totally hum free operation you can replace the Big Singles with Big Splits.

Oh man I bet that is killer. Wish I had a chance to check it out before it was gone. I'm hoping to have the P5 Blade available in another couple months. We're currently pushing towards release of a hum canceling version of our Big Blades and that's taking up all our new product resources at the...

Ok cool. Just wanted to make sure you're cool with really utilizing the tone know because there's a whole world of great sounds available there. Sounds like you're sorting it out in a way that will really work for you. Very cool. BTW, I have a NP5 A3 in my vP5. It's really fat and warm and I...

You need to learn to get used to the tone knob on these basses. There's way too much top if you run it wide open all the time unless the strings get very dead. To me the magic starts to show up when the tone is at least 50% off and you start to get that resonant bump before the roll off. Try it...

Not sure what to tell you. You can definitely raise the G side of the P pickup. If it's still an issue you might want to contact Ibanez. We don't make the CND pickups so I'm not able to help you directly myself. You'd need to find someone authorized to do Ibanez service or a dealer.

The tone will be a little warmer and fatter. Other than that it should be very close.

Glad you like the split version. It's definitely better for total elimination of noise. I suspect the reason Ibanez don't use then as stock pickups is that they are a fair bit more expensive to make and at a price point like this every penny counts. BTW, you can order these directly from us...

Our preamps do not sweep. The push pull pot allows selecting 2 frequencies with the switch and the pot controls boost and cut in both the up and down positions for each respective frequency.
