Has anybody got any feedback on this passive bass boost and well overall pretty high quality electronics?

Im thinking of getting one to improve the internal electronics and to add that bass presence boost to my squier vm jazz bass.

Think its worth it?

Passive is cut only so it's not actually boosting anything but cutting something. Sounds like a treble cut to me, remarkably similar to turning down the tone control.

Seems a lot of money for a switched tone control.

Hiya, thought i'd chime being the designer. It's not a treble cut that wouldnt be much advantage at all! It's technically known a series/parallel switch. Jazz pickups are usually connected in parallel (thinner weedier sound associated with a J bass) as soon as you press the switch (push push pot) you swap both coils to be connected in series (just like the P bass's pickup are - bigger woolier sound with more output).

I'm sure I'm not the first to wire up a J bass this way, but it's a nice mod and a useful sound for sure. It's also got all the "vintage cloth wiring" and component brands everyone raves about. I prefer alpha pots myself anyway but that's another story..........!
