Another electronics question
« on: December 31, 2003, 08:32:54 AM »
Hi,
 
I haven't even laid hands on my new SC yet and I have a couple of questions on the electronics.    
 
My brown bass has the anniv elecs (PU sel, vol x2, Q switch x 2, stereo/mono switch, plus a switch for the side LEDs).
 
All of my other basses had a master vol and pan pot.  How are ya'll using the vol/vol/pu sel arrangement?  Do you set both vol's full on and adjust the master vol at the amp?  I was thinking of setting the pu vols at the half way point.  That way I can boost one pu and cut the other to alter the balance w/o effecting the master vol.  Make sense?
 
Now, you throw in a PU sel switch and I'm even more confused.  Is the vol effected when only one PU is selected? (i.e., will the volume be halved if I switch from both pu's to just the bridge pu?)
 
Finally, what do you use the stand-by setting for?  I guess I can use it for silent tunning (I use the Intellitouch clip-on tuner).  Can I unplug my bass in stand-by mode without turning down the amp and avoid the annoying pop?
 
Thanks and Happy New Year,
Kevin
