winterfire666 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I picked up a 4 string ibanez btb (400 i think) recently as i wanted something with a 35" scale for downtuning. After getting used to the scale and string spacing i have decided i dont like the eq and happen to have a spare aguilar obp2 lying around. The plan is to switch to the 2 band aguilar and replace the pickup blend pot with a 5 way rotary selector so i can have series parallel pickup configuration options. That leaves me with a spare pot (or 2 if i put the preamp on a stacked pot) So i can blank it off which would be fine but im thinking are there any additional mods that i can put in there and use the space for a pot or switch? Just looking for interesting ideas really that will work nicely alongside the aguilar preamp. Any input would be appreciated. Cheers.

lemmywinks Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If you're stuck for ideas you could wire a kill switch, that way you can leave the bass plugged in between sets without draining the battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
