~davie Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 has anyone tried it? I just curious on how is it. I've never heard or heard of a bass with a phase reversal switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Schwab Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I did it back in the 70's on my Ric bass. It's not very useful unless you want a REALLY thin tone with no bottom at all. If you turn one pickup down a little it brings the bottom back a bit. Also running them series out of phase has a bit more lower mids, but that's really thin sounding too.

They are in phase, but the pickups are close together. Out of phase is real thin and "snarky" sounding. Fender Mustangs have phase switches.
