Passive Volume/Blend/Tone Basses?

I use TE Connectivity D-subminiature aerospace-grade connectors. It’s another one of those things I’m surprised nobody else is doing.

I'll have to give those a look! By the way, I have an older version of one of your 32" scale Fender conversion necks- really great idea/neck! I'm surprised I had never seen that idea implemented before.

I’m hearing that some folks prefer a V/B/T control layout on their basses, and I assume the preferred implementation would be an audio-taper blend pot. However, I can’t seem to find examples of the V/B/T spec…either from the major bass manufacturers, or for audio-taper blend potentiometers.

Is this typically a DIY mod, or do some manufacturers offer it on new basses?

For you V/B/T players, whose blend pot is in your bass?

Thanks!
Here you go.

Thanks! It’s been rewarding to find these little niche opportunities in the world of bass guitar. I’m very proud of the 32” scale conversion neck and the 8-string bridge design. I feel like those products have positioned Lowe Custom Guitars as a legitimate brand, worthy of some consideration in the market. It’s been a fun ride!
