Can i consult the Basschat Hive Mind?..

 

I picked up a cheapy Squier P... just to put to good use a Kent Armstrong PBV pickup and an Artec QTP Tone Control... made sense to me...

 

Kent Armstrong P Bass wiring looks to have the Tone Control across the Input of the volume control - Pickup Hot to Ground...

The Artec wiring looks to have the QTP across the Output of the volume control - Volume Out and Ground...

I think this was how the early P Bass and Teles were wired in the 50s... to preserve tone when Vol reduced, but suffering Vol drop when Tone rolled off.

Any experience, any difference, similar to a Tonestyler? and whats best?..

Found another Artec QTP wiring dia on the Spartan Music site, Artec importer... QTP switch wired across the pup, hot & ground at Vol - like the Kent Armstrong pickup diag - and not to the Vol to Jack - like the simple Artec diag above...
