Stupid Moments!

Bought an upgraded Duck Dunn with pre-amp, just realised totally by accident the volume control knob doubles as the active/passive switch! Doh!!!

I have owned my Lakland for nearly 9 years, and I only found out it had a passive switch (pull the volume) 6 months ago!!!!

The guy I bought my Sandberg off (the most excellent Mr Cougar, who I haven't seen on here in a long time... wonder where he went?) thought the coil tap switch was the active/passive, and got a right shock when I text him to let him know I'd found the push pull pot that actually did it!

Because of this post I went 'round and pulled all the knobs on my latest bass. I got all excited when one moved, until it come off in my hand. Oh well.

You got excited and pulled your knob until it came off in your hand? Now I see where your username comes from.

I thought the same when I tried their HJ model! Also in passive mode doesn't one of the EQ knobs become your passive tone?
