Controls
With the bass held in the playing position, there are three knobs along the lower edge of the body. From the lower bout towards the neck these knobs control treble boost/cut, mid boost/cut, and bass boost/cut knob. The mid control is a concentric knob with the mid frequency control on the bottom and mid boost/cut control on the top. Above these are two larger knobs closer to the bridge. The two knobs closest to the bridge are the volume and balance knobs. When the switch is in bridge position, EQ is on.
When EQ is off, the treble knob works as a passive tone control when in passive mode.
