Treble-Bleed circuit on bass?
- Thread starter MVE
- Start date
There's three common sorts of treble bleed options. The simplest is just a cap. Many teles are wired with this. But IME, the most natural sounding will involve a resistor as well. Some guys put the resistor in parallel with the cap, but the most well known is probably the one Chris Kinman puts in his wiring harnesses. That has the resistor and cap in series.
Typically the cap is around 1nF, but for bass, you may want to go higher than this. And the resistor is around 150k. The one on the bottom left is my favourite, but try them all out and see which you like the best!

Getting a little impatient, are we? Anything that's good is worth waiting for. This must be REALLY good!

Sounds like a great mod to try! That's been an annoyance for me too!

Life got in the way, OK!?!? Lol
No seriously, I opened it up and there were already treble bleed caps on each of the pots.
I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

I prefer the TBX tone circuit anyway. I put it on everything now. That way, it's still the oem setup, but with more room to play.
Is multi layer ceramic ok to use for this (on volume for a mudbucker on a P bass)? Been reading for 2 days and they are less expensive & more plentiful <bigger selection(s)> One place i was reading said that multilayer ones were more prone to microphonics (from vibrations from the bass) although i thougt micro-phonics mainly applied to pups and tubes!
Any help appreciated, p

Thanx man! I saw someplace that the multilayer ones were allegedly more susceptible to micro-phonics from vibrations from the bass..
Also wondering if a 2nF will help retain more high end than a 1nF..
I will be using this for a volume, that i will probably run about halfway on a mudbucker (neck pup) added to a P Bass (copy)
It came stock with a 1000pF / 1nF on the 500k volume, don't know if i should leave this on or not..
Much appreciate the help.. p
