Passive circuitry for basses - Part II: wiring diagrams

Here I'll present some different schematics for passive basses.

Feel free to post your own in here.

Firts of: an attempt for a passive wiring for a Stu Hamm Urge like pickup configuration.



In this diagramm the P has a series/parallel switch (like the fender S1 switch).
The neck J and the P pickups are selected witch an on/on/on switch.
The bridge J is dialed in with its own volume potentiometer while the neck J and the P share one which is positioned behind the on/on/on switch.
At last we have a master tone pot.

Like this it is easy to have a normal J configuration, a normal P config, a normal PJ config and all together.

possible variations:
one volume pot for each pickup, perhaps concentric with a tone control for each pickup.

Bit confused...

Bought DiMarzio Model J pups, and noticed that they have 4(5?) wires, not like the diagrams which have two...

I'm guessing those are incase the bass has an active preamp...

?

Janelectro -

Funny you should post a passive conversion of a Urge II, as that is what I am in the middle of now. I am looking at a slightly different route and would be interested in your thoughts.

Knob #1 - Master volume
Knob #2 - Blend based on switch positions
Knob #3 - P tone
Knob #4 - Jazz tone

Switch positions:
Position 1 - All three pickups selected - blend pot blends between P pickup and front or rear Jazz pickup

Position 2 - Both Jazz pickups only - blend pot blends between front and rear Jazz pickups

Position 3 - P pickup only - blend knob has no effect

This basically duplicates the active circuit without the 3 band eq hi/low stacked eq control and the seperate mid control.

My question is how to wire it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

John

Would it be possible for you to post a passive circuit for a PJ bass with a Vol/VOl/Tone/Series parrallel switch?

IASSAEL, please no not bump threads which are more than 6 months old.

Rather create a new thread. I do however appreciate that you did take the time to search the forums.
