Bass Cut Control Layout for 3 Knob H-H Guitars (2 Volumes, 1 Tone)?

[donalddemon]

I have a Reverend that I love the Bass Contour Control and I see that G&L have a version too. My Electra Omega RI could really use this and since I disconnected the tone pot it would be a perfect mod for this. It has 2 volumes and the one tone, is there a scheme around so I can try this? I know how to wire if I have a schematic to follow but no clue how to do this one. I've only seen a layout for a separate treble and bass pot for 3 controls. Anyone have a wiring diagram for this?

It’s in this TDPRI thread.

No diagram, but he writes it out step-by-step. It is pretty straightforward.

It's basically the same as my de-mud mod, but using a pot instead of a fixed resistor. You'd select the cap value to taste.
And I use the word "my" loosely. Others came up with this long before I did.

That one looks like they separated the bass and treble into two controls.

Seems real simple when laid out that way. My issue is that I cut the tone circuit out and need another scheme that is volume, volume, tone (with bass mod) to reconnect everything.

Do you have a drawing of it?

Hadn’t noticed the single tone pot request, sorry. If you just want the one pot to cut bass, it’s as simple as not including the treble pot and cap, so that all the signal goes through the bass contour pot and out to volume.

Oh. Just wire the tone control to the positive on the output jack. I built a volume/volume/tone guitar a couple years ago and it works great that way. You can solder the tone pot wire to the center tab on your pickup selector switch if it is easier to get to, but it is just the other end of the same wire.
