Here is my "plug and play" board: [url="http://img146.imageshack.us/i/p1030176st.jpg/"] [/url] [url="http://img836.imageshack.us/i/p1030177.jpg/"] [/url] [url="http://img813.imageshack.us/i/p1030173.jpg/"] [/url] Signal path: Bass -> Octaver, Fuzz, Envelope Filter, Wah wah, Chorus, Volume, [Empty slot], Compressor, DI Everything is controlled by a Musicomblab. Modded my pedaltrain in order to get some space under to fit the PP2 and opened holes to 2x Jack, 1x XLR and 1x Power. All the mods were made at home, it isn't perfect and have some mistakes.. Thats it! Cheers, Luis

Or has it just started? I presume you've tried fresh batteries! Could one of the potentiometers be worn out/ faulty / damaged - The volume would be my first one to check. It's not unusual for basses to have a hotter ouput in active mode than passive - Most Warwicks are at least a bit quieter in my experience. Could the Nordstrands just be lower in output than you expect, and that perception is reinforced by the higher output from the Musicman? Just some ideas...[/quote] Solved the problem. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi! I have a custom 6 string bass with Nordstrand Fat Stack set and Aguilar OBP3. The pots used were the following: Treble: 50k, Linear Taper, Center Detent Bass: 50k, Linear Taper, Center Detent Mid: 50k, Linear Taper, Center Detent, DPDT (push pull for mid boost) Blend: 250k, Dual Ganged, Linear Taper, Center Detent Volume: 250k Push Pull A/P Linear Taper DPDT (push-pull for active/passive mode) Passive: Tone 250k Audio Taper (This connection was altered to affect only the passive tone) Switch: DPDT PU mode selector It was all connected using this scheme and the only change made was in the tone pot that was affecting the active mode aswell, so the luthier changed some wires and now it only has any effect in passive mode. The bass has a good tone but a very low output. My musicman has x2 or x3 more output. This one doesn't even clip my amp. To get any high volume i need to have the gain at 7 and volume above 5 (both values go from 1 to 10 and both basses with maxed volume and all eq's flat).. With my musicman the values just need to be below 5 on both amp settings. Other situation is that the passive volume e much lower than the active volume. Are these 2 situations normal? What can i do to repair them? I can post photos of the wiring if needed. Thanks in advance. Luís
