ali-stare Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 on my bass i currently have a DPST switch which inside is connected to nothing. does anyone have any ideas of anything i could connect it to? i was thinking something along the lines of a simple distortion or tone boosting circuit. any ideas would be good to hear ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just leave it connected to nothing. You'd be amazed how often someone will ask for a small change to your carefully EQ'd sound - just flick the switch and let the power of suggestion do its stuff Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
