fleabag Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 First, i need to ask , is 1 Vol, 2 Tone, and 1 balance / blend possible ? It's for a 2 humbucker / soapbar bass. The reason i want 2 tone pots, is so i can have a 250k pot on the neck pup and 500k on the bridge pup. The balance could be a switch, but i'd prefer a pot as it would fit the existing hole. A switch won't and will cause a headache Then after all that, most tone pots seem to have a .22 or .47 resistors attached, so i also need to know which value i'd need for each tone pot. Suggestions ? And should i go for all Log taper or mix n match Log + Lin ? I'd also need some wizard leccy guru to draw a wiring diag for moi, as i dont have the knowledge TVM !!

Hellzero Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) No problem at all. You simply have to route the signal to the LIN tone pots with the values you want for resistors (250 KOhms + 500 KOhms) and the capacitors (22 nF + 47 nF) then go to the balance (2 x 500 KOhms LOG as they are humbuckers) and then the master volume (500 KOhms LOG). Easy, no ? Ok, I'll draw you a wiring diagram later if you repeat 7 times before your mirror "Slim face". Edited April 19, 2018 by Hellzero n for nanofarads and not u, habits, bloody habits.

Hellzero Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Did you say it ? So even better than my hand drawing, the DiMarzio wiring diagram simply found on Best Bass Gear : https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=https://www.bestbassgear.com/wiring-diagrams/2017/pj_1v1panv2t.pdf Try to learn how to use the internet, no ?

fleabag Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I did use the net. All i got was seymour duncan guitar schematics. That link looks exactly what i need. Though i will be using 250k on the neck pup. I already have a bass with 250k pot on the neck and i prefer it. Although there's no mention of cap values.

Hellzero Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Good cap values would be 22 nF (nanofarads) for the 250 KOhms and 47 nF for the 500 KOhms, but you can try a 22 nF if you need extra sparkle for the bridge pickup. Did you say it ? The magic word... Edited April 19, 2018 by Hellzero n for nanofarads and not u, habits, bloody habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 That said I already mentioned all values in my first answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 At least, someone is reading, it's nanofarads, but habits made me type uF (microfarad) instead of nF. Correction is made. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I hope my post didn't come across as being a bit abrupt. I think I could have worded it it better, looking at it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say it again, i will make up for @fleabag not doing do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
