    Cap Selector/Varitone Clarity Appreciated

    A while back, while pulling parts together for P-bass build. I bought a solderless six way cap selector on a rotary switch with a stacked concentric pot in the ‘volume’ position so in theory I could keep the passive tone control sweep and volume control regardless of what cap was engaged. First...

    Varitone vs Tone Knob - Opinions

    I've got a 2006 Birdsong Cortobass. It's a terrific short scale bass. The only thing I haven't gotten used to is the varitone control. It's my first bass with one, and I thought I was really going to love it. But I don't find myself enjoying most of the options it provides, and for me something...

    I made a varitone for my bass but I didn't pick my cap values well and it's too dark to fast. I want to add a resistor to emulate the tone being rolled off about 75%. What value resistor should I try? Where does the resistor go? I'm assuming either Signal-> Tone -> Resistor -> Ground Or Signal...

    Suggestions for Creative Use of a Non-functional/Redundant Varitone Rotary Switch...

    So...I just bought a new bass guitar online but the varitone switch seems to do absolutely nothing to the tone... ...it's not that the difference is too subtle, but rather that there's absolutely no discernible difference (to my ear) at all, between any of the settings. For instance, if I...

    Suggestions for Hot-Rodding an Epiphone EB-3/EB-0

    Hey everybody, it's been a while! So recently been playing with a new band and I want to get more LOW LOW end than my current setup is giving me. I've got a nice Jazz, Precision, and a Warwick Corvette, and they're all great but none of them are giving me the super deep tone I've been hearing...

    Homemade slab body P-bass

    Hey there! I just wanted to share my latest project with you, which I finished last weekend. I wanted to do this for a while, and there is a thread around which inspired me - the NBD Frankenslab Precision bass. It's a - you guessed it - precision style bass with a slab body. I shaped it with my...
