Good morning.
Does anyone have experience with adding a passive/active switch to an active bass?
I aquired a maple body Ibanex 5 string with passive Bartolini pick ups and pre amp with bass, trebble and veri-mid control.
C3 +- (130.8hz) anywhere on the neck is a bit dull while F3 +- (174.6) is enhanced, again anywhere on the neck. I can dial it out to a degree but it is a bit of a pain. The ear to the horn test suggests that this in not the same dead spot issue that my last bass suffered from, and I was wondering if runing it passive may be a fun thing to try.
Any suggestions? Would this be a DIY or take it to a pro?
