Has the mothership ever thought about push/pull pots to replace the Q switches so as to tidy up the front face??
Easier on the user too..less hand movement.
Just a thought

and another thought...stacked controls..lower for filter and upper for the CVQ on the SII basses

Converting isn't really hard, but it's not easy. Unless you are skilled at soldering fine parts, you should take it to someone who is. The CVQ pots are not cheap, we would probably suggest that pre-load them with the needed parts so there isn't as much delicate work to do in the field.

No stacking unless you want the bass to be even thicker (like at least 1 inch!) since those are both dual pots. Same story with the push-pull on the already enormous Series I/II filter pots.

ok thanks ,but can you tell me the price of each cvqs,because i saw a guy who sell them on ebay,are the same or not?and by the way i,ve bought 4 hat knobs for my bass with the ordre number2958 ,can you tell me when will i recieve them?Regards from Spain

AND ANOTHER QUESTION,YOU THINK THAT IF I REPLACE BOTH 3 POSITIONS SWITCHS,AND INSTALL THE CVQS I GONNA HAVE A THICKER BASS?

Mica thanks for explanation but why are the signature potssmaller than the ones for Series basses?

Terryc: Don't know about the newer stuff, but on my PF5 'tronics the signal first passes through the first stage of the pot, then a resistor, before it splits into a cap bypassing the IC's and another path going through the second stage of the pots.
It's all part of the voodoo of the series electronics!

Germansal, like I mentioned earlier: Even though that guy states that it's only down to changing the pots, he's not telling you the whole truth. There's a nice little bag of resistors and caps that are also part of the equation.
And the switch/pot exchange obviuosly won't make your bass thicker. It would ALREADY need to be thicker to accomodate the taller pots. But since you already have a series instrument that shouldn't be a problem.!

Nicolai, I think by thicker he means will his bass have more bottom end on the tone. :-)

Haha, then no.

It will be cooler though!

HELLO EVERYBODY IM STILL WAITING THE FOLLOWING DATA,I NEED THE PRICE OF THE PAIR OF CVQ FOR MY SERIES 1,I VE ALREADY SEND AN EMAIL TO MICA BUT NOTHING HAPPENED...

Since this was posted before Mary emailed you the update yesterday, I'll post here to update all interested parties.

It's not just a simple thing to change to CVQ. I need to find out how much time it takes to make just that part of the circuit, and make the documentation to help someone in the field make this upgrade. I will gather these details, and as soon as they are available I'll let you know they are available.
