Hey there.
I got a passive P bass type with a added switch to put both pickups in series. I totally love that sound. It's different than a regular HB, because the two pups are relatively far apart.
Anyhoooo... The P bass neck is a bit wide so I'm ogling a new one with a smaller nut width. Only catch is that it's an active one. I have the schematic here:
Theoretically I could cut the wires and install a DPDT switch to toggle the pups in series, like a humbucker. This will of course make for a louder signal.
My question is, will the preamp start clipping when it gets a hotter signal?
Anyone have any experience with series switching mod in active basses?
