Just spoke with him, and I'm going to install a 3 way switch in place if the unused pot, and replace the other 2 pots with better quality 500k parts.

Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / Are basses wired the same way as guitars?
March 16, 2016, 03:32:41 PM
Hi all,
I've always rewired my guitars, and now my brother wants me to rewire a couple of his basses.
They are both Epiphones (a Thunderbird and a Les Paul Special bass). He wants me to convert them to master volume and tone, with the third pot unused.
My question is, can I simply follow a guitar wiring diagram for this set-up?
Should I replace the stock pots (and will it make a difference if I do?)
He doesn't want a blend pot installed, but is it desirable in basses to install a "blow switch" (to bypass the tone control and go straight to the jack)? All of my experience is with guitars, so I don't even know what bass mods would be desirable...
Thanks!
