hi--i was wondering if someone could tell me what the bass boost/cut switch (like in a europa bass) looks like inside the control cavity--is it like a q switch where it's a 3 way switch and some stuff soldered to it or is it like a switch with a circuit board attached to it? thanks!! |

I think it's much like a Q-switch, I saw a picture somewhere in the archives, although it wasn't a close up. I don't know where it was going exactly, i.e. on its own or hook to a PCB... |

I looked around but didn't see one. If no one posts a pic soon, bump this thread back to the top; we'll get one up eventually. |

FYI, In FAQ section about trim pots, a nice illustration of Europa electronics. Small switches with resistors and wires, not PCB's. Heres Link: link Dave, sorry, I still can't seem to minimize the link. Maybe you can edit it? Kris (Message edited by davehouck on November 10, 2006) |

I understand why you asked now, I saw on the showcase that you have done the upgrade. Congrats! Thanks, for being the very first to volunteer for the project. Nice Impro! |

thanks! it was a great upgrade--especially since this bass has lots of low end and high end naturally so i use the Q to give it character-now that i have been playing it i may not even want a bass boost switch. |
