Good shot, but off the mark. Pay attention, so I don't have to repeat myself - Page drank Jack Daniels, I'm a single malt man and whatever you've been indulging in has given you delusions of grandeur.
A dual concentric control is the same as 2 pots, from every standpoint except the number of holes in the guitar top - if you're obsessed with a "cleaner" control layout, that's fine, but it's your obsession, and while your solution may be "pretty", it's far from simple. It's still not necessary to use 2 PA-2s, since you can use one single preamp after the passive pickups' volume pot(s) for the same results. Beyond that, the only differences between what I proposed and your "superior design is that you specified dual concentrics and neglected to include a neck selector switch (which was , incidently, specified in the original poster's spec). As for switch popping, a simple 10Meg pulldown resistor on the PA-2's input will eliminate that problem, if it is indeed a problem, without any audible tone loss. Since except for your misplaced (and redundant) PA-2 and the omitted neck selector switch, both solutions are virtually electrically and sonically identical, I maintain that my circuit is simpler. As for the issue of dual concentrics vs two discrete pots, that's a strictly cosmetic issue and a purely personal choice, so it doesn't interest me at all.
As one gigging bass player (and a husband, and a grandfather) to another, you obviously know more than a little about how this stuff works, and it's always good to have another qualified solderhead around, but you might want to ramp the attitude down just a little, since it's not winning you any new friends around here. But that's just me, and I can be safely ignored, so long as you don't break the rules, so consider it a suggestion.
I am sorry if my attitude offends anyone... but first off I never said my way was the only way; and secondly as someone new here how am I supposed to react to your first reply to my first post? I thought it was a little more than condescending in tone.
My suggestion to use the pa-2 came partly because I am familiar with the product and partly because I assume someone who is asking how to wire this guitar up in the first place probably has no shot of building the circuit needed himself. Something "off the shelf and readily available seems to me to be the ticket.
As far as my suggestion of concentric pots..... In the 7 basses and 2 guitars I presently own there's one on a fretless jazz for active bass and treble but that's it. I don't like them myself, but given the choice of using those or making extra holes in the top of a nice axe (I'm guessing the beast in question is a labor of love) I would use them at least until I decided I needed something else. It's a lot easier to drill a hole through a top than it is to hide an unwanted one.
I am not here to break yours or anyone elses balls, but I thought the beauty of this type of forum was the exchange of ideas....
My "delusions of grandeur" nonwithstanding; I think we have differing points of view and rather than banging heads we can probably provide a number of good opinions on the topics we respond to.
Perhaps we can all provide answers without snide comments or smugness and help each other as well as anyone else here out with ideas...
