Onboard pre for 2 pu's w two stacked knobs ?

[quadrogong]

I have a bass with 2 pu's. (a PJ)
I'm looking to put in a preamp w 2 stacked knobs,

the bass has 2 knobs now
And I was hoping to avoid adding another,
it's a very small space to work with.

Two stacked controls is what I'm shooting for:
1.Volume/blend
2. bass/treble

I'd love to keep it w two stacked knobs if I can.


the p retro is the only thing I see w two knobs
But it's made for a single pu, no blend control.

Can I buy this & add a blend knob?


Or do I have to buy a 3 knob pre for 2 pickups (and drill a hole for the third control)?

there's another option you could consider, have stacked volumes and a two band stacked EQ.
usually a blend pot has two gangs of connections so a stacked vol/blend would have three gangs..I've never seen that config anywhere. this guy sells pots.

is this my only option?
I'm open to either type of volume control
I'm open to any reasonably simple, doable suggestions.
Would I modify a one pu, P retro type preamp to work w two pickups?

Or easier to get a standard three knob type and drill a hole, add a pot..
The ibanez Mikro is so compact, I was hoping for a two knob configuration.

I can use some practical advice.

I'm not the technical type of guy and I want to know how to approach my tech with this..
I definitely want a preamp
And I want to keep the job simple.

The P retro is a great preamp, I would go drilling one more hole and add a blend pot to the P-retro preamp ... but that's me ...
