Product Description
The Seymour Duncan STC-2P is a two-band set of on board Tone Circuits that add tremendous tonal versatility to your electric bass guitar. This system is designed to work with passive bass pickups. The STC Tone Circuit system enables the player to add to subtract EQ at center frequencies voiced specifically for electric bass. The STC Tone Circuits feature low noise, low distortion and high headroom, and are useful for all musical styles and genres. The STC-2P has two bands of active EQ, master volume and blend, plus the proprietary Slap Switch. The lows are deep, clear, and tight. The mids range from ultra-smooth to punchy and all points in between. The treble control can produce a very wide, very usable response that is brilliant, yet smooth without any brittleness. Pulling up on the volume knob engages the proprietary Slap Switch, a special EQ contour made just for slap-style playing. Includes all necessary mounting hardware: high-quality potentiometers on pre-wired harness; battery clip; stereo jack; and black anodized, knurled, dome-style knobs. For nearly all dual pickup basses. Can use 18 volts for increased headroom. Players include John Pena / Herbie Hancock, Bakithi Kumalo / Paul Simon, Doug Pinnick / King's X, Chris Chaney / Jane's Addiction, Tye Zamora / Alien Ant Farm, Sam Rivers / limp bizkit.

I had this installed in a kit ash bodied Jazz bass with a maple neck. The bass has a pair of Bartolini humbucking Jazz bass pickups that I have had for almost 30 years. They are not loud but Bartolini's had a reputation for being very high fidelity, flat response pickups. This preamp was like adding a hi-fi EQ to my bass. It won't make your bass into a huge, monster sounding animal, but will give you the choice of adding high end clarity and more low end to your instruments output. And, I thought the pull volume "slap" switch would just add clicky highs but it actually pulls some mids a little instead, which is much more usable. There are actually trim pots on the board that adjusts the midrange pull and a bass boost, but I have not messed with those yet. So, this won't make your bass into a Musicman Stingray(I had one and they are a GREAT, huge sounding bass), but it will give you some nice controls like the two pickup pan pot(my '82 Wal Custom bass has that), the pull mid EQ switch, and hi-fi style bass/treble EQ to your bass. You will probably have to get some routing done under the pickguard. My tech did everything from pulling the old stuff out and putting the new in for $90.00 total. A nice touch was the circuit card had velcro mounted to it already to stick in to the interior of the basses rout. I have one of the chrome Hipshot bass bridges on it.
