Anybody Ever Wire Their J Bass in Series?

Post by pjmuck »

I'm thinking about it but not sure it's worth the effort or not and/or if a lefty might present any unforeseen problems (even though 99% of the lefty basses I've encountered have righty pots). Basically looking to cop a beefier, fatter P bass territory and wondering if it gets you close enough.

even better - wire it up with a series/parallel switch (or use a push/pull pot on the volume like this drawing)

depending on your pickups, you'll really hear the difference. I liked it so much, that it's stock on all of the VRB x.2 units shipped to dealers

all the best,

Rod, your drawing didn't show up in your post. I'll Google it and see what I can find. Thanks
