ickups:
One full-range humbucking pickup with blade pole
pieces utilizing a unique dual/single coil circuit (U. S.
Patent No. 4, 164, 163) allowing humbuck ing or single coil
operation through rotation of the tone control (see
Circuit explanation and Controls: Tone), The T-45°
pickup is fully potted with epoxy to reduce unwanted
hum and noise. Any attempt to disassemble the pickup
void any warranty on the electronics of your
strument.
Circuit:
The circuit utilized in the T-45* is unparalleled for its
ability to obtain maximum tonal variations without the
use of battery powered preamps or other "active
circuitry. (For operating instructions see Controls - How
the Circuit Works.) The volume contro! is frequency
compensated to retain high-end at low volume levels
Body:
Select hardwood body with double cutaways and deep
contoured shape for superb comfort and teel. The finish
is an ultra-tough polyester/urethane that is highly mar
and weather resistant. (See Caring for your Bass -

radius.
Controls:
1. Volume: The volume control reduces the volume of
its pickup by rotation counterclockwise. It is also
compensated so that there is a minimal loss of high
frequencies with reduced volume, however, optimum
performance is at maximum volume. Special contoured
control knobs are used tor comfort and smoothness.
2. Tone Controls: The T-45* utilizes a unique system
of controls for contouring and shading the instrument's
tonal colors, The first tone control employs our patented
dual/single coil circuit and its function will be fully
explained under "How The Circuit Works." The second
tone control is a conventional-type where
counterclockwise rotation will reduce the "highs" of the
T-45% and result in a bassier type of Sound
