TeatroLirico Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 A question for you cat bass owners… I have always been puzzled reading about the all-in series mode on this bass. When I go all-in, my bass is definitely not louder than just using the first button pressed (parallel mode). Anyone else? Is it possible my bass is wired up differently?

Obrienp Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I just tried mine and it is definitely louder in all-in (series) mode than in parallel. Are you sure all the switches are engaging when you put it in series? I have a hell of a struggle getting mine into series mode. I would happily trade the mute button for a one button series switch.

How did I not know that it was all 4 buttons? That just makes no sense 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I asked about the 3 / 4 buttons in, over on TB and it was totally inconclusive as to which is what setting but you get 2 different sounds... at least on my bass you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well indeed - I always thought 3 buttons was lacking, but I thought “well this must be it, otherwise… what is *this* setting” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been wondering about that and had come to the conclusion that 3 is not different to button 1 but I have to admit my hearing is not what it was.

nordygrrl Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 three switches down is all three pups in parallel for the V2. 4 switches down is series. on the v2 if you press 3 buttons down is the same as pressing the first button. both pups in parallel. four buttons down is in series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it your third sentence is referring to the V1, twin pickup version? Edited April 12, 2023 by Obrienp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
