I'm in! Played professionally thru High school 1965 thu 1968, Detroit. Remember this one?

I'm stuck on Gibson. the sound is always what I like and not always popular. too bad! I'm not a follower.

I have recently purchased a 2016 Gibson Less Paul Hollow body bass. I love it, however, the tone is not as low as my EB2-D (pictured) I am going to get the LP modified. The Best parts of the LP are playability, Tones available, and it's almost as light as a Hoffner! As for the price Save UP and...

40hz Thank you for your explanation, I, obviously, have no idea how the electronics I have been using for years, work! How does one analyze and determine numerically, which tones they like?

Crater Just got back from extended travel tour. Thanks for the helpful remarks I am on my journey to figure this out!

My first bass was a Gibson EB-O 1965. I sold it and went to college very dumb. The sound that EB-O produced was amazing. should have kept that bass. Next was a Gibson EB2-D again very good sound but the treble baratone is too tinty for my taste. Still own it. Next was a Gibson 2016 Less Paul...

I may have gotten the perception of Baritone VS Deep bass. (dyslexic again) What I may need is an electronic way to "round" out the treble control. Again THX for the ideas.

Baritone circuit does the opposite. Brings out a "muddy" sound. And seems to make the bass louder. There is a possibility that I am looking at this system backwards. I had an EB-O in the past (same vintage) and it was not as muddy as the EB2-D. Thus not being an electrical guy I am clueless.

Crater To answer your question, What I want to do? I have a 2016 Gibson Les Paul HB bass. I love it, feels great, light weight and great tones. However, I miss the "baritone" range of my EB2-D. I would like to add a push pull pot with that baritone circuit for selection when I want it. Another...

Everyone Thanks for the help so far. However, what electrical components produce the lower baritone sound? It is a technical question that is tough to understand. THX!

Anyone have the schematic for the 2016 Less Paul Hollow body Bass? THX

Thank you for the above. I hope to get more info. on the engineering side.

I have a Gibson EB2-D bass. With a push of a button it really drops down. I do not understand electronics. I would like to learn Why the circuit works the way it does and also how to replicate it or improve on the sound out put. Thanks Heffy
