You could put stacked pots and gain all the advantages you want while keeping the switch. I love having the switch as rolling a pot mid tune is much more difficult than flicking a switch
The selector breaks very easily though... are you saying you could replace it with a selector that doesn't break? Would be interested to hear more about that as that's probably what my guitar shop will want to do as a fix under the warranty
Glad I found your video. I just picked up a 'special edition' Mustang off CL for $140! It's mint, (mint green too, pun intended). It still had the protective plastic covering on the parts. I didn't play it thru an amp and of course when I got it home I found that the switch was bad! Did your mod and all is well. Thanks.
Very interested in trying this on my Player PJ Mustang bass, either as seen here or just bypassing the switch and putting in a stacked volume control. I'm already getting usable tones, but I know there's more in there!
Great video, going to try to do this mod on my new player Mustang. :) Quick question: which dimarzio pickups did you go for? I see you replaced the stock pups with dimarzios, I'm thinking of doing that too.
Great idea. Any idea what would be a fair price to pay someone to do this? Realise it would depend but just looking for a ballpark as I'm new to this stuff
