Blend knob- Front= More precision tone
Back= More jazz tone.

wonder if I could ask Jason a question: I saw him switched his picking position when he demonstrates the front and rear pick up... I wonder if that means when we switch the pickup to the front/back, our picking position should really change to enhance the effect too?? or did he just do this to make the difference more audible in the video??

the reason I ask, is that sometimes I do struggle to find a balanced point of the blend vs the picking position....

eh... I'm pretty sure that after the blend knob is bass in the bottom, treble on top, and the last one is boost on top and mids on bottom

Everyone knows "what the knobs do" . The issue is, why is the LOCATIONS of the varied knobs, all over the friggin place? One shouldn't have to guess what knob does what by playing it. I should be able to look at a picture of a bass and say what knob does what BASED ON ITS LOCATION like ANY OTHER instruments and it's adjustment options. Even a mixer. Do we have a gain knob at the center of a channel or the top? Even a virtual one, places it in the top.

What bass is that? I know it's a fender jazz bass
