MJ: Ein Humbucker und ein Singlecoil
Circuit MJ1
There are electric basses with a mix of a humbucker and a single coil, with the humbucker usually sitting in the bridge position. The simplest circuit for this offers the following options
1. Bridge humbucker,
2. Bridge humbucker and neck parallel
3. Neck
Switching functions
Electrical switching principle
Bass with Megaswitch T, three potentiometers
