Bass Fumbler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have a Squier Vintage Modified 77 Jazz Bass which has a bit of a thin sound compared with my Mexican Jazz. I have seen this loom on Ebay, which look interesting.

This modification, which was inspired by the Seymour Duncan schematic shown above allows you to select:[/size][/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size] [size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][font="Arial"][size="4"]Solo Bridge pickup[/size][/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size] [size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][font="Arial"][size="4"]Bridge and Neck pickups (standard parallel wiring) slightly scooped sounding[/size][/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size] [size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][font="Arial"][size="4"]Solo Neck pickup[/size][/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size] [size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][font="Arial"][size="4"]but also[/size][/font][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size] [size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][size="4"][font=Arial][font="Arial"][size="4"]Bridge and Neck pickups (series wiring) this position turns both pickups into one massive Humbucker. Result: increased output with a boost in mid range taking away the sharpness in treble. Please note in Series mode (where the knob is pulled out) ooer Missus... it then acts as main volume.

Bass Fumbler Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 I know what you mean about ebay but I found it by accident. Would this circuit be one you would be able to provide Kiogon and would it give the bass more oomph, for want of a better term? Also, what would the cost be. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks [/quote] Dear Sir, can I please suggest you take a look at the original post and tell us if you can actually see what's happening in the circuit? If its a relatively standard Jazz circuit then our KiOgon could do it blind-folded with both hands behind his back. If it's a more complicated one, he might need the lights on, but I'm sure it's do-able. Edit: And it would work! John wouldn't sell you anything that's suspect.
