    bartolini mk1 active and passive (samples inside)

    i didn't use any tone cap, just pickup outputs straight to 250k pot and output to jack advice: if you are hi-fi, hi-end tone-like you won't like it. Soul, old-school, fat and warm tone lovers will love it!!!

    Toggle switch concern....HELP?!

    4th prong is ground it only has 1 circuit (2 in and 1 out / 1 in and 2 out). Toggles with 6 prongs, that's 2 independent circuits, enables you to true bypass what exactly is supposed this toggle to do? switch between 2 pickups? mute?

    Bartolini pickups info needed

    I'm only trying to say that pickups, strings, pots...even the bass itself doesn't make you sound jazz, rock, etc.... it's your technique! Give me a Fodera and it'll sound like crap cause i'm a beginner, give Victor Wooten the cheapest bass in town and will be awesome!
