A little improvement we just started adding to all our Epic, Essence, and Orion basses is now available for retrofitting in your own bass or 2-pickup Activator system. The pan module now includes a DUAL preamp, so there's one gain trimpot for each pickup, instead of one global gain control.
These are available now in our
online store. Use coupon code CLUB-PAN and save $30 until June 18.
If you have an Essence, Epic, or Orion bass, you just pop out the old pan module and play a little legos reconnecting everything. Then you can set the pickups to any height you want and correct the gain with the trimpots. The original preamp on your filter control or treble control will no longer be used for gain and should be turned all the way down with a label over it to keep future you from messing with it (like is shown below).
If you have a PJ set in a Persuader bass or an old Activator in another manufacturer's bass, you'll also have to replace the 2-volume harness too. There's an option to to add the 1-volume harness with 2 different styles of jack. If you're not sure, just get the original one, but if you have lots of room, get the bigger more heavy-duty jack we're using now.
