Tone Control Units

SPECTOR® USA 9-VOLT ACTIVE TONE CONTROL CIRCUIT™
This is our famous classic 9v USA™ active tone control circuit! We use these in our USA Neck-Thru NS-2™ bass, since the that 1970s. And the circuit is still made by the same circuit guy! For use with EMG™ active pickups. This circuit fits our USA NS-2™ basses and also our EuroLX basses. Please note that the EuroLX™ pot hole routes may need to be widened a little to accommodate this circuit's thicker pot shafts. Controls are master volume, pickup balance, treble boost/cut, and bass boost/cut. Tone Controls are +/-15db of gain. Includes the 9v circuit with the pots attached and wired to it, and a wiring diagram. Also includes a set of our NS-2 "IE2B" black plastic knobs.
