sirmuppet Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi guys. I have an idea that I need some help with. Not sure if this is possible so any advice would be great. Here goes. I have an early 2000's Fender Precision bass special (p/j pickup combo). It's the passive model with 3 controls (2 vol, 1 tone). I'd like to change the pickups and setup of the controls. I like the idea of having both a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Jazz in the bridge and matching Quarter Pound Precision in the neck. I'd like a stacked tone pot where the single tone is now, this way I can control the tone on both pickups independently. The I'd like a Volume blend with a centre indent like you have on the current active Precision bass special, then I could blend any combo of both pickups on the one knob with ease, the centre indent would give me a guide. Lastly a volume control that controls the overall volume from 0-10, so when the blend is set I can fade it in from silent but here's the kicker. I'd like the volume to be an S-1 switch for series/parallel like I have on my 2004 usa jazz bass. The 2 things I'm unsure of are: 1. Can you do series parallel with those pickups and the wires they have on them? if not then which pickups are recommended for it? 2. I know the P-bass pickup is split and there's a jazz bass there too. Is it even possible to do series/parallel with a P/J combo and would it be as good a result as with the Jazz bass I have? If not then what is it going to sound like? Thanks in advance for any help. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
