3-position Q Switches (replacements) for 2006 SC Deluxe?
« on: July 20, 2021, 04:03:40 PM »
I feel like I should know this, but after looking through the threads at the answers for using the replacement 3-position Q switches for the various Alembic electronic packages, I thought I should check before ordering them for my 2006 SC Deluxe. I have them on my Dragon Wing with Anniversary electronics and actually use them versus the 2-position on the SC. I don't like the larger db boost, but do like to have a small amount.


So, do the 3-position Q bass switches in the Parts section work as replacements for the standard Signature 2-position Q switches? Thanks.

I recently upgraded mine to Anniversary electronics but as yet not drilled the holes to mount the pickup selector or stereo mono switch. But they are insulated and inside the body cavity so not affecting anything.  Once  I can get some of that silver insulating paint and a pillar drill and the courage I will find somewhere for them to go as the controls are aligned differently on series and signature basses. I am happy with the upgrade as it means i have a similar way to control my gigging basses.

Yeah, Mary got the note with the order as well, she's working with dad to see if it's a big deal or not. I had guests today, so I didn't get an update on it.
