I'm probably getting an SX PJ soon, and I have a question for the PJ club:
What are your favorite settings on the PJ? Obviously there is all J, all P, and both at full. Do you find uses for any of the more blended settings? I'd heard some people get the best sounds out of a J by cranking both p'ups and then turning down one or the other of them a bit to bring out the mids more. Anyone here doing something like that with a PJ?

Anyone here doing something like that with a PJ?
I do that all the time, both with my Jazzes and my PJ's. Specifically, I usually keep the neck up to 100%, then drop the bridge down to about 90%. It keeps the "grit" in the sound without getting that volume-drop when both pickups are maxed out.
My usual sound, I find myself turning up the P on full and dialing the jazz gradually. Usually a 1/3 of the way works for me. Tone is usually a little less than 3/4 on the treble side.
I'm also a P 100%, J 80-90% player. I originally had my PJ wired up V-T-3 way switch, but am now much preferring V-V-T.
On an old MIJ Fender PJ special, if it has three knobs and a switch, is that volume/volume/tone and a pickup switch? Or did they also come active?
If you are talking about the Duff model...those are/were Volume-Volume-Master TBX Tone Control with pickup selector switch.
I don't think it's a Duff. Unless that came in pewter/sickly diarrhea green. Were there non-Duff models that were active?
I've seen this on lots of basses, but what's the point of dual volume control and a pickup switch? It seems kinda redundant.
They did do a "Power Jazz Bass Special" that had an active circuit I think... it had two switches and a different knob layout.
