Thanks for the replies! Yes it's an epiphone EB 3, I've had it a few years now, been fairly happy with the sound I get from it, nice and meaty, plenty of bottom end, but recently have been trying to refine it slightly hence trying to blend a bit more definition from the bridge pick up. The situation I mostly play in is at a church, 'silent stage' quality front of house and iem's so I've never had the need for an amp, hence the recently purchased Dr J sparrow di/driver, to add a bit more tonal options!! I was just really wondering if this was an issue with my particular bass,<that could be sorted) or just one of those 'characteristics' of the instrument generally! Oh and thanks Jus, I'll give that idea of starting from 1/2 way a go.

Hello, new to the forum, hoping someone can advise me, I've had a little search but not much came up. I've owned an sg bass for a number of years, still a very average player but enjoy it! There are some peculiarities with the tone and volume knobs though. Firstly neither tone knob seems to alter the sound much at all. Secondly, when just 1 pickup is selected (either) the volume knobs seem to work fine, however in the middle position (both pick ups,) above about 9 on either volume knob there is a noticed jump in level of the relative pickup and then adjusting the other pick up volume seems to make no difference to the sound, its as though you've switched to just select 1 pickup. So balancing tones between the meaty neck and mid-y bridge is a bit tricky. Is this normal? Can anything be done? Sorry its wordy, hope it makes sense, Many thanks
