bigdguitars Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I have a new item that I am selling a bass guitar varitone switch. The caps on this thing are a little more expensive than I thought so I have raise the price a little bit. for Forum members I am selling this at 40 bucks, with chicked head knob, no dial plate can add that for 5 bucks. I will be selling this on my site for 50 bucks. Bass players let me know, I can ship these as of thursday! Send me a PM if you want one.

bigdguitars Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 A varitone switch is what BB Kings guitar has, it changes the tone of the guitar. It adds flexibility to your setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 so its like an "easier-to-use" tone knob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Sorta, adds a tonal variety to your guitar. A tone control has one capacitor that filters the signal, my varitone control has 5 different capacitors plus a true bypass that does not affect the tone. A tone control that is set to zero still filters some sound to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum5545 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) So is this a device completely separate from your tone knob and its capacitor, or is it simply a rotary switch that lets you choose what capacitor value you use in your tone circuit? [edit]In other words, a wiring diagram would be of immense value [/edit] Edited August 6, 2004 by skibum5545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
