Master volume, blend knob with percentage plate, tone.
One of the most common and usually the first mod one does to their jazz bass is the blender mod. Instead of using the standard volume volume tone on from the factory builds, this mod allows the pickups to be blended by one knob. However, SCE would like to add a spin to it. with the percentage plate, the exact blend amount can be seen and memorized for future reference. Range is full bridge PU at 0 to full neck PU at 100.
Volume is a 250k linear CTS pot
Blend is a 250k CTS pot
Tone is a 250k audio CTS pot
Switchcraft output jack
Also included are the SCE treble bleed standard on the master volume.
150k resister in series with a .001uF cap dipped in red electrical tape to prevent shorting to ground. treble bleeds will retain your high end when you roll the volume down. Not as drastic as a guitar but enough to notice. Bassists need to retain consistent tone regardless of a volume change. Also a treble bleed in this configuration will allow more overall output throughout the entire frequency spectrum.
Tone cap is a standard .047uF tone cap. Dipped for aesthetic reasons matching the treble bleed.
When ordering, please select knob choice in pictures above.
Easy wiring instructions are on last picture as well.
Heat shrink tubing as well as 3 wood screws are included. - Hudba
As a fellow tinkerer and Jazz bass user, I love seeing your experiments.
Hahahaha awesome
Always fun to see your new creations.
Cheers! Appreciated! 🙇🏻♂️
Can you please do a demo of the Execration?
That should already be up here. Is it not working? Anyway, I’m planning on updating most if not all of these videos. Too much rambling from me.
How is this blender dual pot any different than using 2 separate volume pots to get a blend balance? Are you using Red color "liquid Electrical Tape" to dip the treble bleed components?
One knob. Faster blend. Yes. Dipped to prevent any shorts to ground. Tone cap just for looks.
@@ticktockfool you mentioned in the video that the Bourns pots has a different TAPER compared to the CTS pots taper. So what type of Taper to use for the Blender pot?
@@waynegram8907 the tapers are the same in regard to the blend knobs. Taper changes when you add a treble bleed to volume pot. The volume pot becomes halfway between linear and audio.
@@ticktockfool yes the treble bleed changes the taper and also alters the voicing of the pickups
There should be something like this for a Gibson SG Bass. The stock setup is not good. V V T. However, if you adjust the bridge or the neck pickup just a bit, it's like turning it off. It's much worse than what I hear in my Jazz Bass. The SG Bass has no nuance so I resort to playing it full on :(
Sounds like it has those J taper pots in there. Basically on off switches, right?
Yes. Why would Gibson do that?@@ticktockfool
@@jmasno5 cost savings? That’s where a lot of companies can save cash is in the electronics. Plus they figure most players crank everything to ten anyway so… that’s my guess.
