It's a glock 3 band pre-amp. I haven't checked to see whether glock offers any pots other than the volume passive

It doesn't look like it but on another note I think a 2 band could be converted to a 3 band in the same amount of holes as they have a stackable bass treble option. But you loose the tone adjustment via the treble in passive.
I'm a 'set & forget' guy. I love sweet, woody mids balanced with nice highs and controlled lows. My two double-pickup basses have the pickups hard-wired in series and I set the rotary switch to play them in parallel. It satisfies my ears every time.
I'm also a fan of the uncluttered "clean look"...
My sense is that the best way to add the switches is: 1) play the bass a while with current internal settings; 2) reconfigure the pickups and play for a while again; 3) decide if I really want them; 4) if no, leave them in the configuration I like the most; and 5) if yes, then see if I can purchase what I need from Sheldon and have a luthier drill the holes oh so carefully and wire in the toggles.
I like the pickups on my AB1 wired in parallel, and I mostly play them in parallel. Occasionally, I season to taste with some EQ. I also really like the two pickups solo'd, especially the neck.I'm a 'set & forget' guy. I love sweet, woody mids balanced with nice highs and controlled lows.

I suspect that I will probably like the bass in the factory settings anyway, and will probably never feel compelled to drill that beautiful top. Oh, does it have a beautiful top???? Oh, why yes it does!
Lot's of faces in there!!
That's easily one of my favorite Dingwall finish/wood combos...I like the pickups on my AB1 wired in parallel, and I mostly play them in parallel. Occasionally, I season to taste with some EQ. I also really like the two pickups solo'd, especially the neck.

Freakin awesome Bob! I'm happy for you man. YOU GOT IT! That bass is sooooo sick and Dingwall does that finish to perfection.
My new Z will be similar but with greens and browns, no black.
NEW Z??? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????
I was a little worried because YOU were sniffing around it! LOL! The Dingwall vacuum! But I will be done after this. I just need two and I'm good. Just needed a 3x to replace the ABZ. I think this one is worthy.
BTW Nate,
What color green are we talking? And will the brown be the wood, or will it be another paint color. Sounds pretty cool!

I was just observing it...... from a distance.... I promise. If I had been in the market for an AB1 though. That would be the one! Perfect spec IMO.
And I told you about the Z in having built. It's easily 10 months out I think. I'm sure in my excitement a while back I did.

BTW, so do I like the woody mids, which is another reason I decided to pounce on this one. It, like my WPB burst is alder bodied. I LOVE what the alder does for the mids.I'm a 'set & forget' guy.

Going for a bleached transparent like your new one. Kind of a deep forest green and a tobacco brown.
Dude, I'm just busting your balls brother. If you had bought it, I would have been happy for you! It's all good. Lot's of beautiful Dingwalls in the world. But I agree, I love the spec on this one. And when Jon told me it had an alder body, I was just like, OK let's do this.
Ha. Freakin text. I guess the wit I was trying to install there failed.... lol. I was trying to come off sly in the first part and the second part I was just stating the sheer awesomeness of your new beaut.
After rereading I could see how that may have came off.
i believe a misinterpretation has just been had.
What's the eta for ya?
Also, just edited previous post for hopefully more accurate expression. Lol.

@BuffaloBob4343 - you saved me. <insert "smiley putting the money back in his pocket cause someone else finally bought that bass" here>
I got this for consolation:
I had to update my profile GAS list because I finally found an AB2 with a walnut neck.

Hahahahaha. Dang. Awesome.
Thank you both!!! I also was viewing that one..... from a distance......
Another beauty. Congrats to you as well!!!
Actually, I'm lying! I would have been totally pissed at you!!!!
Dude you are fine. I get what you were saying. I was just giving you some more grief!!Well, I seem to be drawn to the ones that are overseas. So it will take some time coming from the UK. I will need to fill out the requisite NAFTA Certificate of Origin. But at least I know how to do that now based on my previous experience. So probably early next week. But I'm not in a hurry. Much.
I actually LOVE that one. Good for you. I didn't know that was available!! That's gorgeous! And I bet it sounds awesome too!@BuffaloBob4343 - you saved me. <insert "smiley putting the money back in his pocket cause someone else finally bought that bass" here>
