GIBSON EB2 Baritone Switch on OLP Stingray.

[Jazzneck]

So I have got my hands on a defretted OLP MM Stingray bass and have started to learn the fretless game.
Whilst widdlin' last night a thought struck me - I have an inductor of the right value a la 1960s Gibson EB2 in my parts drawer and I wondered whether it might be worth trying it in t'OLP.
My logic is to fit the EB2 circuit using two of the three existing knobs as volume and tone and to substitute the third knob with a suitable push switch for the inductorized circuit.
Please do not larf too loudly, but has anybody tried this? have any experience or suggestions? or am I just a deluded old fart?

I've messed about with Gibson circuitry a fair bit (I too have a 'baritone' inductor in my spares box!) but I doubt whether the setting it gives you will be very useful - probably too thin. Unless of course you intend fitting an EBO type pickup in place of the OLP one?

Give it a go. If you like it keep it in, if not you can always remove it.

Well I tried it - it sounded awful so the inductor and button are back in the box.
Should have known that The Doc would be right .
