solo4652 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I have my eye on a Fender Urge Standard MIM. It's all original, with 2 J pickups, active pre-amp, and concentric tone pots. That's two complex for my brain, so I'd want to modify it to always passive (no pre-amp), simple vol/blend/tone control layout. Would this be possible with the original pickups and a new wiring loom from Kiogon? Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Looks like you can Steve. Whilst checking out the model on t'interweb it appears that someone on TalkBass has removed the pre-amp and wired direct to the jack and the pickups are really hot. I lost the will to live looking for the post but it appears the pickups are normal Jazz type. Only problem is the Standard only has 2 holes for the controls and you want 3. Are you proposing a stacked Vol/Tone and the blend separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I've decided this bass isn't for me. While I like the idea of a downsized body, and the 32" scale, I've never really been a fan of active basses in general, or J-basses in particular. So, my quest for a decent 32" scale, passive P-bass (or MM style bass) continues, while I desperately try not to gawp at the redburst medium scale Jake on the Bassdirect website. Dammit.
