Sharkfinger Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'd like to be able to switch my bass to passive from active, for times when the battery is low or runs out mid-set. This has happened to me recently and had to run outside to the car to fetch my spare! It actually already has the toggle installed but not wired in. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A wiring diagram maybe? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA[/quote] most here would need to know what pup you have and what preamp you need a battery for if its your P then my guess you are using an EMG active....which means you cant get around without a batt if not then post more details ps...battery is active...no battery is passive...all that is needed is a by pass...scottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were EMG PJ actives but just swapped them out for a passive PJ set. I also had a spector tonepump (that I do have a wiring diagram for and have posted it here) which I've pulled out for the time being. Like I said, I need to know how to wire the bypass toggle switch back in. It looks like a fairly standard switch but seems to have 6 terminals at the back, the top two seem to have been soldered together so that leaves 4 terminals.
