ahpook Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 after a few days of no sound and cracking, i finally got round to pulling the active circuit from my fender cowpoke... and it's dead...i've tried everything i can think of, but nothing seems to want to ressurect it. so, whilst looking at it i wondered if it would be worth considering a new circuit. now...the thing is i'd not want to change the look of the bass, so i'd need two concentric controls...one for vol and pickup balance, the other for bass and treble. anyone got any ideas about suitable replacement circuits ? /scratches head and peers at broken circuit again/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Aguilar do a 'double-stacked' version of the OBP2 I thought Bartolini did, but 3 knobs (for 2 pickups) is the best I can see (though you'd just need a suitable dual concentric control of your own to convert that...

Mcgiver69 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I would try the SeA-2 it bring the bass and treble in a concentric pot. I have one in my Encore P copy "Dr. Evil" and sounds very nice and clean. You can get them for £20 on evilBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) thanks for the ideas. i'm tempted by the stacked OBP2... although i'm going to have another look at the preamp tonight...see if anything jumps out at me.

ahpook Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 or... status do a concentric bass/treble circuit - the TB5 (Stack). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 ok...so if that's the active sorted, theoretically...i see another problem. as the blend control was handled by a single pot, it must have been controlling the blend using a mixing circuit on the pcb. so, if i'm to keep the look of the bass the same, i'll need to address that. more head scratching needed. any ideas folks ?
