drums1977 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 For sale this set of active Pickups fro the mid 80s. Very popular back then. They come with 3 small rocker switches to modify the output tone and "feel" of the sound, one of the most versatile active PUs ever made. Check out this description from the Seymour Duncan Forum: "We stopped making the switch pickups ("Active EQ") in the mid-'90s. We replaced them with the Pro-Active™ series. The little rocker switches on the Active EQ pickups change the sound. Switch #1 shifts the coil resonance. On a Jazz Bass® neck pickup and a P Bass® pickup, the resonance moves downward from 22 KHz to 6.4 KHz. On a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, it move downwards from 17 KHz to 4.9 KHz. The effect is to give a more focused sound with a harder attack. Switch #2 gives a broad band bass boost of 4 dB for the Jazz Bass neck and P Bass pickups, and 5 dB for the Jazz Bass bridge. The switches can be a very effective tool for changing the tonal "character" of your instrument." I will ship anywhere in Europe. Cheers!

drums1977 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1403690695' post='2485265'] What does switch 3 do ? [/quote] To be completely honest with you, I don't remember!! I used those for a very short period of time a long time ago. I remember fiddling with the switches made nice changes in tone, much like a preamp. They all cut very well through the mix, I remember that much.
