Active Pickups with dip switches? help!

[WarriorJoe7]

What are the different models for bass that had the switches... and what are the model numbers?

I am trying to find some online but have had no luck... (I keep finding preamps with the switches instead.)

Joe...

P.S. This is my first post ever on here

You mean the basslines active pickups don't you?
I got them with two switches as a special offer, but saw them in the cataloguw with 3 switches. That's all i know.
Maybe you should look under "basslines"

Hey WarriorJoe7:

Welcome to the Forum. From the FAQ responses:

"We stopped making the switch pickups ("Active EQ") in the mid-'90s. We replaced them with the Pro-Active™ series. The little rocker switches on the Active EQ pickups change the sound. Switch #1 shifts the coil resonance. On a Jazz Bass® neck pickup and a P Bass® pickup, the resonance moves downward from 22 KHz to 6.4 KHz. On a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, it move downwards from 17 KHz to 4.9 KHz. The effect is to give a more focused sound with a harder attack. Switch #2 gives a broad band bass boost of 4 dB for the Jazz Bass neck and P Bass pickups, and 5 dB for the Jazz Bass bridge. The switches can be a very effective tool for changing the tonal "character" of your instrument. "

I hope that helps.

Hi,
someone offers me such pickups. Are they suitable for 5 string basses? Where can I find any specs?

I hope, someone can help ;-) ?
