Jeff -- on your six-pack prototype 4005 there, how are you envisioning the standard switches and knobs wired up to all those Toasters ? 
Have you got a picture of the wiring harness ?

Um, let's see, hmm, how about, three of the controls are dual ganged pots for two each of the toasters, with the fourth control a master tone control, yeah, that's, like, it, man. Oh yeah, the switch!8mileshigher wrote:Jeff -- on your six-pack prototype 4005 there, how are you envisioning the standard switches and knobs wired up to all those Toasters ?
Hmmmmmmmm, well, I suppose it could be to switch between each pair on the dual ganged controls, hey yeah, that works. 
I think!

i'd say...all the pickups in series...then all the pickups in parallel...then, series parallel, then a big tab of acid to make sense of it all !!!

Ditto; five or six, for better spacing, and those subtle tones no one's going to hear. . . .cjj wrote:Uh... Because you can???Who's Who wrote: But why would anyone need 4 pickups on a bass?
Push pull pots on the 4005.
As for the original, I don't understand all the fuss about a completely sensible and conservative modification. . . .
I'm kidding, of course. Maybe one could sell all the extra bits to help pay for the resto!

How about original pickups from std output and J-bass style pickups from Rick-O-Sound output? Two basses in one, just plug in the one you happen to like today. Maybe that's why there are controls from both basses, the original knobs + J-bass knobs. Sure it's ugly but kind of fascinating idea anyway.

Funny how they always end up on eBay a month later, hacked and butchered even though the owner was so sure the mods would get the perfect tone.mikko wrote:How about original pickups from std output and J-bass style pickups from Rick-O-Sound output?
