Not sure if this is appropriate to post. Let me know if not. I looked if there was a free section in the classifieds and didn't find anything.

This was a functioning EMG 3 band EQ when I pulled it out of a bass years ago. I don't know if it is still functioning. Make a donation to your favorite, non-political charity and let me know your address. I will ship it for free. I suggest $20 but I will not ask for any prove. If you cheat karma will get you.

For my European friends, I travel 2-3 times/year to Germany and can ship from there but it may take a while.

They way they are laying there looks like an intentional picture of a rearing horse.

Very cool. :cool:.

6 knobs for a 3 band eq! I would have assumed the other three are vol-vol-blend except for the extra jack…

The actual EQ is just 3 knobs. Their are 3 double stack knobs. I remember that I had a some sort of crazy plan but I don't remember the actual plan. I'm cleaning up my man cave and am getting rid of things I'm nut using anymore or will likely never use again.

A quick Internet search did not reveal any wiring harness with 6 potentiometers, let alone with three stacked potentiometers. Do you recall the brand and model of bass guitar that this came out of?Knowing the actual bass guitar it was from may allow a schematic to be located.

Some of us like to do things that no manufacturer has ever done before.

Nothing’s unpossible!

I lookd at it a bit closer and those are actually 2 EQ's one 3 band with sweepable mids and one two band with a double volume pot (I guess) for passive pickups.

So far only questions but no tinkerer wants to do a good deed and take a chance?

That quote would apply to dozens of gadgets, cables, adapters, tools, and parts in my garage and house.

Being forgetful, having crazy ideas, and hating waste are a really bad combination. I'm finding things that I bought again, because I forgot that I already had them. And finding that extra piece of gear/equipment leads to other crazy ideas.

Just started working on reviving an old neck I had laying around and butchered. Plan is to combine that with an old precision body, cheap Amazon p and MM pickups.

Writing this all down to have a record somewhere. I may have to post in 2 years or so if anybody remember this thread though. :D

I have an EMG in my PJ that I installed way back around 1997 or so. Mine is a two band on a stack with volume and blend.
Its a great preamp.
I don’t think the EMGs bass pres never got the love they deserve.
I would love to have it if I had a project with enough holes in it.
How many is that? Like 6?
Why two outputs? Or did you just throw an extra in the pile for the photo?
Anyway that is very generous of you and a very Christmasy gesture. I wish you the happiest of holidays and hope someone finds a home for this great preamp soon.
