When you say circuit, do you mean the active bass circuit, or just the wiring on a passive bass? There are quite a few options out there - what sound are you looking for?

Hamster[/quote]Sorry, yes the active circuit, will it make any difference keeping the old circuit board in, or will a new board improve the overall sound of the new pups. I'm looking for a growly rumble mainly for rock. Thats the best i can describe the sound hope it's not to technical for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
