Hi fellow TalkBassers,
I'm searching for some pots for my first bass build. Any help would be great, since I'm having hard time finding them. (yes, i've already searched on dozens of websites)
The point is that I want to have 6 pots and 2 switches, all combined in 3 concentric pot bodies. I'd prefer push-push to push-pull On-On switches. But either will work.
Controls:
switch 1 - active/passive
switch 2 - coil split
pot 1 - vol (250kA)
pot 2 - blend (250kA)
pot 3 - passive tone cut (250kA)
pot 4 - active hi mid (50kB)
pot 5 - active low mid (50kB)
pot 6 - active bass (50kB)
So i've figured the following setup:
50kB (linear) + center click / 50kB + center click /// push-push (or push-pull) for low/hi mid
50kB + center click / 250kA (log) /// push-push (or push-pull) for bass/passive cut
250kA / 250kA - 250kC (rev log) + center click for vol/blend
I had a Warwick some time ago with MEC vol/blend + push pull, but that one would be too high for my slim body, so that limited me to the above mentioned setup.
Also, any suggestions are highly welcomed.
Also also, I'm tempted to frankenstein them myself
Thanks!
Note:
I'll be using:
Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp
Nordstrand Fat Stacks 5 string (custom cover, custom spacing, reversed pole pieces - fanned fret) pickups
Neutrik jack with gold plated contacts and metal housing
