philw Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've just bought myself a lovely Squire VM PJ Precision (Lake Placid Blue now you asked), but as ever, I don't really get on with Vol/Vol/Tone. I'd much prefer Vol/Blend/Tone. I'd be perfectly able to do a mod, but I could do with a circuit diagram and some pot suggestions. Anybody know where I'd find such a thing?

Lozz196 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Maybe ask KiOgon on here for a bit of help on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'll be watching this thread, because if I ever get another Jazz, that's exactly what I will want to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 VVT vs VBT depends on the bass for me. On a jazz it HAS to be vvt - there are sounds in there you just can't get with a balance control in my experience. With a PJ I find it doesn't matter so much - a switch would do instead as I find mixing the P and J doesn't work that well. Talking passive electronics here though. A little way down on this page is what you're looking for anyway: http://www.guitarnucleus.com/wiring.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I've never really got on with VVT. I like to keep a little volume back on the bass to quickly dial in during parts where the guitarist gets over excited and that's not really possible on a VVT without changing the tone. It's fine for "set and forget" stuff but if you need to make adjustments on the fly it's not really the ideal setup IMO.

The Badderer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 or you could go with 2 stacked pots each having volume and tone for each pup. looks well cool too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) +1 for separate vol/tone for each pickup. Much more versatile and you can get the best of each pickup at any time. You can use the remaining hole on the control plate to add a blend or select switch if you wish for even more options and better control on-the-fly.
