I bought a used bass without manual and was hoping there was one here on the site but I can't find it. So I've typed my serial number into the site and I've identified it as Jazz Bass Plus, serial number starts with an N which I've read means it from the early 90s. Meanwhile trying to figure out what the knobs all do.

I got that the knob set closest to neck is volume and the pan between the pickups.

I think the middle two knobs are tone controls, maybe a high pass and low pass, but they seem to behave differently based on the selector switch. What exactly are they and what frequencies do they effect?

And then there's the 4 position switch near the bridge, it's got an off position, and I think two active positions and one passive. What are the different active positions?

Thanks

Hi, I'm no bass (or wiring...) wizard, but would this be of any help:

Quote:
Active/Passive electronics designed by Phillip Kubicki
Master volume, pickup pan pot, active treble and bass control
4-way selector that chooses between passive, active, active w/ boost and mute

You might be able to get the manual from Fender Consumer Relations via email. Meanwhile, the Factor/Ex Factor bass manual might clear the concept: https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Orig ... s_1990.pdf
