CORONA PJ/MM Special

Recommended Posts

Wondered what a P bass would sound like with an Active EQ circuit and MM pup?

 

Me too.

 

Lockdown does strange things to us all.

 

Sounds great to be honest, very authentic P/J sound in passive.

Realllllly bright like an Ernie Ball in active mode.

Lots of low end too.

Nice jazz tones with a hefty thump with the bass and treble up

 

Great all rounder.

 

Pots

 

1 Volume

2 Pickup blend (3 Way)

3 Treble Boost/Cut (3 Way)

4 Bass Boost/Cut (3 Way)

(5) Active/Off/Passive Switch

Nice job, looks fantastic and I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks. Would you be kind enough to share details on pre-amp and MM Pup?

Sure, it's a Tone Master 9 v circuit, 2 band eq with bass and treble boost/cut. The pup is a from a SUB Stingray. Sounds great as is, in the future maybe I could buy a SD quarter pounder P and an SMB-4 pickup to spoil myself, but so far I can't complain.

Bass Pick-up Upgrades

 

Picked these up online for a good price.

 

A Tasty pair of Seymour Duncan Vintage Quarter Pounder P-Bass Pickups with nice cloth wire and looooooads of winding.

A hefty Seymour Duncan EB Stingray style Alnico Pickup.

 

This Frankenstein P-Bass with active pre-amp and a jazz neck is soon to become "The Green Machine"

That’s not a quarter pounder SPB-3 but a SPB-1 

I prefer the one you’ve got bu a long way!

You are correct sir! I also got him to make a custom 3 band pre amp. The pots are now neck pup vol with push pull for active/passive of the whole circuit, bridge pup vol, bass , mid, treble.

 

It sounds amazing now and I really like the pearl plate and wooden knobs now too.
