Sorry for the delay. Yep, I had fried the switch. Wired a new one in and it worked perfectly. As per the results, it sounds better than I expected. In passive mode it sounds vintage-y. I think I like it better than active even.

Sorry, english is not my first language. I bought this bass 3 years ago brand new and put a Seymour Duncan pickup and a series/parallel switch. I bought another bass last year and wasn't using this one and ended up selling the seymour duncan pickup. Now I intend to put back the original pickup...

Would you have a diagram for that? I jumped the gun and sold the Seymour Duncan I had put there and dont recall how it is supposed to go. The need for the active/passive is because I had already drilled an series parallel for the SD pup.

I saw your thread, great work btw, but I have one of the newer Ray5s, the ones that have too much gain. I measured my pick up resistance and it seems to be wired in series(6.8ohms). Also another difference that I spotted, even tho the wiring is the same as the schematic I posted, my bass uses...

Hello all, So I want to add a Active/passive switch to my bass. I need to know where in the schematic should I add the switch. And wich of the pots is shown on the active/passive switch. Any help is appreciated.

I got a question for you guys that already own it. Is it capable of upwards compression? As in not taking down the peaks but raising the signal below a threshold?

Woo, first post! I got a SUB Ray5 I installed a seymour duncan SMB-5A, and I need to find out how to wire the 3 way switchblade like it would be in a MM SR5. SD doens't have a online diagrams for that, and google hasn't given me much to work with. Can anyone help me out or pinpoint me to...
