I just bought a MIM Fender Deluxe Precision active bass with the P and J pickups. I think it is about a 2008 model. I can't figure out the knobs. I know front one is master volume and the stacked one is bass and treble boost. I can't seem to figure out the other two. Can anyone explain? Thanks. (I am new to this site but searched around and don't see this question raised and answered).

According to Fender's site:

"Master Volume, Dynamic (Pan) Control, 3-Band Active EQ with: Treble Boost/Cut, Bass Boost/Cut, Mid Boost/Cut"

I take it this is like your guitar, read up on it here: Invalid Link Removed


Congrats on the new bass though.

Fender doesn't seem to put a service diagram for this bass on their web site but it should be the same electrically as [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. The pot closest to the neck is the volume, the next one is the pickup pan control (turn it towards the pickup you want to select or increase), next is the stacked treble (small knob) and bass, then finally the midrange knob. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is similar physically to what you have. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]which may be helpful for some purposes even though it is for an older passive model. Combine all three diagrams as appropriate and you have a pretty good guide to your instrument. Maybe there is even Invalid Link Removed and I just missed it.
