Bass Guitar Volume Knobs EXPLAINED For Beginners!
https://www.talkingbass.net/bass-guitar-volu…ed-for-beginners/
A few weeks ago I made a lesson on how to improve the tone of your bass and how to set your tone controls. This week we’re going to focus specifically on volume controls on your bass guitar.
I’m sure any of you beginners have wondered about what settings you should go for and how to deal with multiple volume controls when you have them.
Well, wonder no more. We’ll look at single pickup volume (Precision Bass), two pickup setups (Jazz Bass) and single volume with a blend knob.

I bought a Tony Franklin fretless last year. Love it, but it has the 3 way blade type pickup sector (like a strat) . I've always favored a blend knob. But a guitar tech told me that two individual knobs are better? He didn't go into the science of it but said it would not be the same as having a blend knob. I'm thinking he's just more comfortable with two knobs.. and doesn't like the idea. Ha
What model is that bass? I know is fender but which model??? Please
A while back I got a second-hand bass that has five (!!!) knobs and a switch. I'm assuming that the switch is a pickup selector, and at least one of the knobs has to be volume, but there's a whole lot going on down there that I just have no clue about. What's the best method for figuring out what each knob does?
Thank you for the information. Coz' before i watch your video, i still confused to find out, what the right tone for my play style. But now, finally, i found it!!!????
For years I've been running my basses with the volume wide open..
Only recently, I backed the bass guitar volume off and let the amp do more of the work.
I was pleasingly surprised with the change in sound.
Will have to see how it goes during next rehearsal.
For the Jazz and P….there's so much More when you experiment with the 75% mark…Jazz Bass with Front Off…with Back Pickup at 75%…turn up the amp…Tamed brights..
Have a question for you, folk. I own one Gibson Flying V bass (2012); I think has the same wiring of the most common Thunderbird bass (two volumes and one global tone). Is it normal that when I put to 0 one of two volume knob, ALL the volume goes to zero? Let me know!
Nice
Very interesting and helpful! From an old guy who picked up a bass a month ago, perhaps slow down your delivery! Thanks,
Great advice, thank you.
Brilliant!!!… Who would have thought there was so much to say about volume…
I have a fender P" bass(beginner) the Pickups seem to be loose is this a problem. If so .how can it be corrected
Great vid as usual! I have VVT passive bass, 2 humbuckers, but its does something a little peculiar, if starting from the volumes both at a 100, I slightly lower one of the volumes, it actually just goes to zero. The only way to get it back is to also lower the other volume a tad, basically, i can only mix the pickups if neither is at full. Makes sense? What could explain that?
My Fender Jazz does a peculiar thing , when my bridge P-U is on full and I gradually bring up the Neck P-U, I don’t hear the neck P-U until the knob is about 75% the way on. I’ve wondered if this is because of phase cancellation. Like, the output of the bridge P-U cancels out the other until I have enough of the neck P-U volume to overcome phase cancellation?
if you see the tag on your panties, you put them on the wrong way round
Just the lesson I needed
????????????
Thank you Mark, another simple, clear and to the point tutorial. Now I remember why I chose a Precision bass!
Great info for a beginner such as myself , Thanks Mark
What if you need to adjust volume when on stage. You would have to run back to the amp behind you?
I love your videos. Always are puntuals !!!
Basic question: if I keep my active bass plugged into the amp it drains the battery right? Is that true even if I turn the volume off on the bass?
you are the best teacher
Hello i have a question: i have a jazz bass with 2 pickups but with a pickups blend knob. If i put the knob on 12 o'clock, would that be both pickups 100%? Or is that both 50%? And if i put the knob at 3 o'clock, what is it then? %?
Thanks since I’ve been doing it “wrong”. Your explanation makes it clear.
Nice advice Mark. Always good to get a refresher, even for us seasoned players. Looking forward to the lesson on Gain control.
