My Latest Project - Bass Active Eq Board

[Prostheta]

The original design was certainly not my own I am afraid. This circuit is from a classic 80s bass.

Circuit drawn back to a schematic, rerouted in PCB design software with a newly generated layout and component scheme on a double-sided board. Also working on an SMT version with flying leads for the pots to fit a bass with a smaller cavity....I love the 3D Gerber previewer I found at mayhewlabs.com/3dpcb - extremely useful for proofing Gerber output before sending jobs to PCB houses.

WOAH! What is that? Treble/Bass/Blend/Volume, more or less? What are you gonna do with it? And this is different than the one you did for the Aria, right?

[Prostheta]

That's it exactly. They're for both repros and a couple of restorations.

[Prostheta]

Kaching. Just need to get some nice quiet Vishay resistors and detented pots in stock!

[Workingman]

Nice and clean!

[Prostheta]

Yep! Just a shame that I got screwed over by a local education institution here otherwise I would be building basses for them to go in. I'll happily build them up for anybody who has a two-pickup bass that would benefit from an active dual buffer circuit with vol/blend and bass/treble boost/cut.

Does that mean you lost access to a shop? If so that sucks.

[Prostheta]

Yeah, tell me about it. I was going to spend two years learning industrial wood manufacturing (think, guitar factory) with a specialism in CNC however there are issues with the local school who appear to have strongly prejudiced my application purely because I am foreign. So yeah, "sucks" describes it in a broad manner. "Better remember the swear filter applies" explains the depth at which I might otherwise describe it however.
