Fretless electronics

Hi All, looking for some advice / opinions on electronics for best sound in a
fretless bass. I have a custom made fretless that has some semour duncan
bass lines ( i think quarter pounders ) in it. It has two volume and one tone
pot, it is a passive system.

The pots seem really loose and don't feel like you have any resistance when turning. My
guitar tech seems to think they are quite delicate high fi ones ( think the bass was a bit of a prototype )

Opinions!

Do you prefer passive on fretless?
what pots would you recommend to replace?

cheers all

If you have the space, and can do DIY electronics, passiinwind has a three band that can be used onboard or as a pedal. Full details are on the other place https://www.talkbass.com/wiki/pw3b-lpf-open-source-onboard-preamp/


It is offered under a creative commons licence so you can build it for your own use and purchase the PCBs form OSHpark. It is a gift to the Bass community and Charlie (passinwind) makes no money from it,
