    Push-Pull Pots for Multiple Capacitors in a P Bass

    Okay, that was an easy fix, thanks This makes sense. I only have 2 of each: 22's, 33's, and 47s, so I will be keeping those values, but thanks to your diagram I realize the obvious: I don't have to wire from the volume pot to its associated switch. I don't know why I thought I had to do it...

    Push-Pull Pots for Multiple Capacitors in a P Bass

    Well I tried it out, going off several different diagrams from TB and the web. Obviously I did something incorrect, and I was hoping you guys could point out my error(s) in this diagram. Please forgive me if they are simple errors, I still getting a hang of this. First, the volume is...

    Push-Pull Pots for Multiple Capacitors in a P Bass

    Thanks for that write-up, it was very helpful! I want to keep the P looking stock, which is why I am going for the push/pull instead of a 3-way, which I'm sure is easier.

    Push-Pull Pots for Multiple Capacitors in a P Bass

    Thinking about trying something in my P. So I know it is possible to use a push-pull tone pot to use 2 different capacitor values. I am wondering if it would be easy to also have a push-pull volume to "add" a third capacitor to the signal. In other words, if I have a .047uF and a .033uF...

    New Nordstrand CND P & J Pickups?? Found on Ibanez SR650 & SR750

    After playing for 3 weeks, I can confidently say that the CND pickups sounds great. The neck pickup is very warm, round, and fat. It is comparable to the NP4. The bridge pickup, however is indeed very clean and dry. Not much of that burpy growl that the Nj4 has, even though the pickup spacing...

    New Nordstrand CND P & J Pickups?? Found on Ibanez SR650 & SR750

    I just ordered a SR655 in natural satin today, and will be sure to update everyone when it comes in. I already have a Fender PJ with LaBella flats and the Nordy NP4/NJ4 set and I love the sound. I am one to buy, sell, and trade basses often but I will never get rid of that one. I have absolute...

    Wiring up MM pickup to blend?

    I'm a cheapskate and wanted to use an Audere preamp I had lying around (designed for 2 p/u instruments) instead of purchasing a new one.

    Wiring up MM pickup to blend?

    Is this possible? Wiring up each coil to a blend knob? This diagram shows a MM wired with 2 volumes, so a blend should be possible, right? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I want to do this in my MTD Kingston Artist, can anybody identify/label each wire coming from the pickup? Green, white...

    How the funk are you? From New Orleans

    Hey guys, I've been browsing this forum for a while, and just now decided to become a member. I have been playing bass since I was about 15, after realizing that there were too many guitarists in this world and saying "I play guitar" has little to no value anymore. I have never had more fun...
