PICKUPS AND ELECTRONICS
Standard Active Electronics (MVP/BUZZ)
The control panel consists of a volume, pickup pan, and tone. The pan control acts as
a pickup blend selector. Turn the pan fully clockwise for fingerboard p/u only, to the
center position (where you feel the "notch" or detent) for both on equally, and fully
counterclockwise for bridge p/u only. the space between these positions is used to
blend the p/u's in any combination. The volume knob will adjust the overall output of
the blend. The tone control (also having a center detent) acts as a standard passive
high end cut as you turn it in a counterclockwise direction from the center detent (i.e.
from 5 to 0) and, additionally, will act as an active "presence" boost as you turn it in a
clockwise direction from the center detent (i.e. from 5 to 10). the system offers
maximum versatility with minimum clutter.
We use a dual preamp (Bartolini TC-4), which improves the overall performance and
tonal quality of your instrument by increasing output level and decreasing the output
