I don't know where it was going exactly, i.e. on its own or hook to a PCB... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4502 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, November 10, 2006 - 4:23 pm:    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. keurosix Intermediate Member Username: keurosix Post Number: 120 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Friday, November 10, 2006 - 7:44 pm:    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?

Congrats! Thanks, for being the very first to volunteer for the project. Nice Impro! bumhucker Member Username: bumhucker Post Number: 85 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Saturday, November 11, 2006 - 4:09 pm:    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.
