KingPrawn Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I need you help I bought a attitude ltd 2 from a fellow chatter. Very good price. aside from re-dressing the frets. I am having problems with the control pots and what they do. I'll start from the begining. each jack socket works and i have conrol over each pickup individually. however whan i put my lead in the socket furtest away from the controls. I am only getting the p pups working. the front pick up is just not there to blend. My question is am i doing something wrong or have i bought a bass with duff electrics etc. What should the controls be? which configuration should i be using? Any advice would be verymuch apprechiated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 That's correct - Billy Sheehan runs two rigs, without going in to too much detail, and to over simplifiy, each rig is fed separately by each pickup. The front pickup (neck) supplies all the 'super deep low' and the P pickup everything else. I think when you use the other (nearest) output you should get both mixed, but if you use both outputs at the same time you will get a feed from each pickup separately each ith its own volume control. Thus, if you use just the furthest on it's own, due to the limitations of hardware and wiring, you will indeed just get the P pup output.

AttitudeCastle Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Ok let me walk you through it. Jack socket furthest away is just the P-pickup which only has a volume control. The one closest is just the neck pickup which has a volume and Tone. The knob closest to the neck is the Neck pickup volume. The middle knob is the neck pickup tone with either a push-push or push-pull knob depending on the age of your Attitude LTD II. This switch activates a high cut when active which removes top end for a "deep 60's" sound for when you want it. The knob closest to the bridge is the P-pick up volume and has a push-push or push-pull again depending on age which activates both pickups allowing you to run both through either jack socket.

Dood Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thank you for clarifying the way the pickups mix at the jack sockets mate! - Is that the same for all the models? For some reason I thought that using one socket only mixed the two outputs but I must have gotten confuzzed! Maybe it's ric-o-sound I've got lodged in my noggin!

[/quote] Haha yes you're thinking of ric-o-sound, which makes it easier to use both pickups i think together as that's more common It's the same for all models as since the Attitude LTD I as far as i know could be wrong though, i'll double check! Not sure how it's all wired though, that's beyond me Edited December 11, 2011 by AttitudeCastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
