Sounds like crap
Glad to be rid of it when I upgrade - will turn into series/parallel switch then.

fair enough.
I wired one into mine and it has limited utility but something to play around with- mine cuts the volume a bit but there is a difference in the sound.

I just don’t like the cut. Not my taste. I will be putting on a set of LaBellas maybe this weekend, see if the parts I’m waiting on come in.

Given that this is a bass meant for picking I would have suggested to stick with rounds, but you do you

Oddly enough @howard - many many folks use flats on this thing. When it originally came out, rounds weren’t a thing yet, so folks used it and the flats for the sound that it made. I am currently in that camp and doubt I would change.

I tried the rounds, even got some Stringjoy rounds.
They never floated my boat, seemed to suck out all the bass.
The Stringjoy ones were heavier gauge and not floppy but I still got the expensive LaBellas.

What will the series/parralel switch do?
I have never understood the difference that makes to the sound?

In parallel each coil is heard individually, it’s a cleaner brighter sound…
In parallel, one coil feeds a second coil, it is a fatter chonkier sound, and less clarity
Sort of simplified but that’s the gist
I don’t know it will get a lot of use but more than the kill circuit by me.

Cool, I might look into a circuit diagram for that, might give it a try

It’s more that they add brightness on top than remove anything.

Weird but that is the syntax I read it in.

I guess it would be hard to have a blend for parallel mode - and a switch between parallel and serial as well. Just for fun? That looks like complicated soldering!?

I’d love to hear you play that pickup. I played a few of fenders with that style of pickup but it’s too dang near the neck. I love the one on my StarBass.
