x20xt6 Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 So I've just put a Darkglass Tone Capsule in my Ibanez, naturally it now sounds a hundred times better. Just wondered if anyone had any novel suggestions to fill the 2, now redundant holes. Cheers! Quote

JohnR Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 The finish is superb and it would be a shame to do anything to detract from it. Perhaps just fit a few fake pots with matching knobs? It could be your version of Leland Sklar's famous producer switch. Quote

Waddycall Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 An LED and a mini toggle switch to turn it on and off! If you used a double pole switch you could have it as a kill switch with a RED LED as off or green as on! 1 Quote

If you used a double pole switch you could have it as a kill switch with a RED LED as off or green as on! I mean, that would be genius haha. However, the Darkglass chip itself is a bit of a chunky boy, so the space in the back cavity is so minimal now, probably not an option sadly! 1 Quote
Matt P Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I had this dilemma when I rewired a les paul guitar, I don't like 2 volumes so went for one vol and one tone, I put a coil tap switch on one hole and a bullet in the other, a Winchester 38 special fitted nicely with a bit of tape on the inside of the cavity to hold it snugly 2 Quote

x20xt6 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Posted May 13, 2020 When I put the Darkglass Tone Capsule in, I wired beyond the Blend and Volume pots and didn't actually looks at the wires coming out the pickups. There are actually only 2 cores coming out of each pickup though, unfortunately. Quote
therealting Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 What about a passive tone control? I personally find it makes my active basses much more versatile. 2 Quote
gafbass02 Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 As already suggested, I’d go with a couple of ‘DFA’ knobs. 1 Quote
Baxlin Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) DFA - reminds me of a bloke in the RAF who ‘knew everything’, he was known as KFA..... Edited May 14, 2020 by Baxlin 1 Quote
