Geek99 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Can someone advise me what hardware I need to do a concentric "outer" blend (centre notch) and "inner" tone ? I think I can do the wiring it's the hardware choices I'm uncertain about To fit a Jazz bass with single coils and two volume controls The blend is for a piezo to be used or blended in to whatever the two volumes select Thanks Edited August 2, 2017 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 To mix the piezo and mag signals together you'll need something like the East MPM-01 buffer circuit. I'd suggest giving John a call and explaining what you need, he'll be able to sort you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) thank you, I have since read that piezos are quite low output so that may be the answer. I want it to be a bit [i]stealth[/i]. http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/piezo-magnetic-mixer/mpm-01.html Edited August 3, 2017 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Re low output, it depends which piezo you're using. Hipshot/Graphtech piezo bridges have more output than your average humbucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thanks Mr east himself has been in touch to advise, maybe I'll start a new trend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I've just fitted a John East MPM-02 preamp/ blender to Mick's Psilos bass (hugely long build thread here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/302963-finished-a-bridge-too-far/ ) - it worked very well indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
