Washburn XB125 Phat II Mod


Guess what? Rizal has scored a Phat II EQ circuit board off an old Ibanez bass, and has asked me to install it in his XB125. To date, I've completed control cavity shielding and tested the new wiring scheme. Everything is working as it should, thank goodness. This new scheme comprises the following:

  • Phat II EQ Board
  • 9V Battery
  • Alpha 500K Master Volume Pot
  • Alpha 500K Master Tone Pot
  • 0.047uF Tone Cap
  • Three-Way Toggle Switch (Neck/Both/Bridge)
  • DPDT Bypass Switch
  • Stereo Output Jack
