Aguilar OBP-3 Blend Pot / Switch Help!

[derekeugene]

Hey All

I'm installing an OBP-3 in a Gibson RD bass and had two questions, hoping for some sage wisdom from the TB crew!

I'd rather have a three-way switch than a blend knob, can someone tell me how to sub in a switch for the blend in this diagram?

Would I be able to use this switch and keep the wiring the same?

Also, if I were to stay with the blend, what pot should I use?

Thanks!!!!!

Yes, you can replace the blend pot with a switch. Both center lugs go to the volume pot. One each of the outer lugs goes to the bridge and neck pickup. This is easy to work out if you have a multimeter/ohm meter, which you should if you're doing any kind of wiring work in a bass or guitar.

Assume the following labeling for the switch's terminals:

1 2 3
4 5 6

Wire the neck pickup to terminal 1. Wire the bridge pickup to terminal 6. Wire both terminals 2 and 5 to the volume pot.
