monster set up

[darthplagis]

ok here is the story and Q to follow.....

1st off i have acquired a set of lane poor jazz pickups from a friend.

now not really being a jazz bass kinda guy i have been racking my brain as to what donor body to transplant these fine organs (pickups) into and finally i have come up with the answer.

the new squire P bass (the tele one), ok all is well and good so far so now all i need 2 do is get the bass and do the required routing jobs to fit the lane poors, yes i know its crazy having a jazz set and a mud bucker on the same bass but here is where my main question comes in.

i plan on wiring the bucker passive and the jazz set active but with a toggle/blend pot to switch between the 2 circuits with maybe a middle selection on the toggle being both circuits.

now the main problem i am facing is this will i just wire the circuits as normal, then send the output signal part of each circuit to the toggle or blend pot then the output from that to the jack?

also will a star grounded system work due to the essentially 2 circuits running parallel? or could the 2 circuits load each other down and ruin signal/tone?

thanks in advance

A particular issue with LP's is if they have the standard leads of any length and you don't whacked them off, they're a nightmare to deal with in an empty control bay let alone one crammed with wires. If you do whack them off it may or may not decrease their resale value and what lead is left may still present a problem. They are the most (actually only) inappropriate pickup leads I've run across.

Just to let you know... your mudbucker is likely going to have a TON more output than those notoriously quiet jazz pickups you got.

yeah, thats why i wanted to run the 2 circuits independant. so i can match the output of the circuits then go to the master output.

A lane poor preamp would work...it has 2 channels of clean boost, each channel has a trimpot for 2-15x boost.
