  1. i want to turn the controls on my epi t-bird from volume volume tone to volume blend tone


    i know nothing about this stuff though, so my questions are....


    can i keep the original volume pot or do i need to get another one?

    and is this a good blend pot to use? or can i be linked to a better one?

    mini will fit in most anything, but I'd measure the length of the pot shafts on your bass to be sure
     
  5. oooo will do :)


    and how about the other question i asked?

    can i still keep my original volume pot or do i need another now?

    You can keep one volume pot that you are using now, it's fine. You just send the pickups to the blend, the blend to the volume, the tone connects to the volume also, and then the volume goes to the output jack.
     
  7. thanks a lot for this :)


    but you wouldnt happen to know where i can find a schematic of this configuration would you?

    i need to give it to the guy who will be installing it
