    Mods to electronics for passive basses

    I'm thinking of building a custom bass, passive circuit, vol/vol/tone/tone, dual humbuckers, 3 way switch. I want it to be sort of a swiss-army knife kind of bass, and I have a major affinity for things that have lots of switches (think Alembic Series basses). What are some mods that can be done...

    P Retro - with a "twist?"

    I'm digging the idea of putting the John East P Retro preamp into a single pickup, humbucker-equipped bass of mine. This bass currently has a coil tap function on the volume knob though, and I'd like to keep the option for variety's sake. Do any of you know of a preamp or wiring scheme that...

    Coil tap vs active/passive switch

    Hi all, I am looking into buying a dual humbucker active bass. My question is which you find more useful/versatile, an active/passive switch or a coil tap, and why. I can’t have both so I have to choose one. Thanks for all of the help!

    Looking for specific type of 5-string bass

    I’m looking for a 5 string bass with 2 dual coil pickups that has coil tap switching and maybe a 3 band EQ. I’m looking at things like the Schecter CV-5, the MM Stingray5 HH, and the G&L L-2500. I just want to learn how many options there are out there so I don’t miss out on anything really good.

    Coil Tap Switch and Series Switch

    I have attached the wiring diagram for the Schecter Diamond J bass which includes a coil tap switch. Would it be possible to add a second push-pull switch and wire it so that there's a series/parallel switch but also keeping the coil tap switch working as normal?

    Wiring idea for series/parallel with coil split

    Hi guys, I'm upgrading my guitar and I wanted the option to test out series/parallel and single coil in the same instrument. Since I couldn't find the exact wiring I wanted online, I came up with a variation of the standard series/parallel wiring to add in an option for coil split (or tap). Let...
