I picked up a used Jazz Bass, love it by the way. Wondering what the details are for the knobs. I can get a great tone that I love but would just appreciate some confirmation on what I'm doing. In order to answer this I'm sure you'll need some details about the guitar. It says Made in U.S.A. serial no. N3011625. Here's what I figured out and still question after messing with the knobs.

Closest to the bridge is a 4 way selector that gives me pickup options. One position is off, one seems to be for a passive mode (since it is the only one that works when battery not present), the other 2 positions seem to select variations of the active pickups. What are the differences in these 2 active modes assuming I got that right?

The other 2 knobs are both stacked. My guess is that the middle stack is tone, one in the center for treble boost and the outer for bass boost. There's no center detent on either of these so I assume boost only and no cut, which should mean natural tone is in the full off counter clockwise position. Assuming I'm right that they are tone controls and how they operate what are the frequency specs on these? Or if I'm wrong enlighten me please.

Finally the stack towards the neck seems to be volume and panning between the two pickups. The outer knob being the pan control and it has a center detent. If I'm right about this stack, no questions here other than it would be nice to get some comfirmation.

Thanks for any feedback.

I would suggest posting a picture of your bass. Alternately you could say what the model is as serial numbers don't tell the whole story.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the model is other than it says Jazz Bass made in U.S.A. and the serial number posted. I don't see anywhere on the guitar where any other name is referred to.

So as suggested here are some pictures of the guitar. Quality of these might not be all that great, they are just what some people posted to my cover band's myspace page.

If these don't help identify it. I can try and take some close-ups of just the guitar to post somewhere later this week.
