Stellartone Custom Guitar & Bass Electronics - TONESTYLER BASS TEN SHORT capacitor selector switch tone control

The ToneStyler BASS TEN SHORT is a miniature ten-position capacitor selector switch tone control, for electric basses with hi-Z passive magnetic pickups.  This unique custom tone control feature eight contrasting capacitance circuits with uniform audio-taper spacing between tones, and the guaranteed quietest switching in this device class!

Unlike the many cheap, low-quality DIY products using flimsy imported components and noisy switching, Stellartone stands alone in using only premium USA mil-spec aviation components, gold contacts, super-silent switching, and hand wiring. Don't waste your time and money installing a noisy, throw-away junk product with a short lifespan. Your bass is worth the best!

See the animated EQ chart on Stellartone.com for a comparison of the audio performance of a standard single-capacitor tone pot, vs the multi-capacitor ToneStyler.

The BASS TEN SHORT features six intermediate mid-range circuits #3 through #8, providing a sequence of discrete capacitance values, in audio taper.  Stellartone’s signature pickup resonances and roll-off frequencies cannot be produced via any traditional tone controls, pedals, or pre-amp settings.  At full clockwise rotation #10, true bypass is selected; in the adjacent #9 detent, "virtual tone pot loading" duplicates the subtle loading and treble reduction of a tone pot set to maximum clockwise brightness.

The deepest anti-clockwise circuit #1 selects the #104 sub-bass tone cap, and the adjacent circuit #2 selects the #473 traditional bass tone cap.

Where space for a second tone knob is available, connect the ToneStyler to a standard pot to replace the fixed tone cap. This creates a "mega tone pot" with eight different roll-off and resonant frequencies.

• For use in instruments with two set-screw knobs… master volume and tone control (P-Bass), swap out the tone pot and connect the ToneStyler's shielded cable directly to the volume pot's input terminal and ground. 
• For use in instruments with three set-screw knobs… master volume and dual tone controls, swap out either tone pot, and connect the ToneStyler's shielded cable directly to the pickup selector switch's output. The other tone control may also be connected to the selector switch output as a second master tone control. Alternately, the second pot may be wired in series with the ToneStyler, creating a two-knob adjustable-strength master ToneStyler. 
• For use in instruments with three set-screw knobs… dual volumes and master tone control (J-Bass), connect the ToneStyler directly to either pickup's output cable, "pre-volume". This will control one or both pickups... but not the other pickup when it's soloed. To optionally switch the ToneStyler to the other solo pickup, use a push-pull volume pot's switch. For superior performance, a Jazz Bass may be re-wired to the modern "master volume plus blend plus tone" control plan.
• For use in instruments with four set-screw knobs… dual volumes and dual tone controls (Rickenbacker), use one ToneStyler for either the bridge or the neck pickup (it will also control 'both pickups'), and leave the other tone knob “as-is”… or swap one tone pot with a push-pull pot to alternately control each pickup with one shared ToneStyler. Or, install a pair of ToneStylers for independent EQ control of each pickup.
