Since the majority of you said "blend" instead of 3-way switch, I got the blend knob. Which led to another problem--the blend knob was "backwards". It zigged when it should have zagged. This obviously led to a discussion between me and the tech.

Which way is the "right" way for the blend knob?

1.) Turning clock-wise "pans to the neck". Or, when you turn the "top" part of the knob toward the neck, it should turn up the neck pickup and turn down the bridge pickup.
2.) Turning counter-clock-wise "pans to the neck". Or, when you turn the "bottom" part of the knob towards the neck, it should turn up the neck pickup and turn down the bridge pickup.

I was under the impression that #1 was the only way to fly, but the tech seemed to think that most basses gravitated toward #2.

(I hope I'm explaining this in a way that everybody will understand.)
