hello Immo
Sorry about the dark grey - I was trying to get the best resolution artwork for under the 1M posting limit
I think I tried posting the gerber files as .txt (and many other formats)
I will try again and see.
cheers
Steve

OKAY
I tried to upload the gerber files as *.txt and got the message that txt files are NOT allowed.
I give up

Hi Bajaman you can try to upload a zip file, previously I was able to do so. right click on mouse then compress file or a few files on mac os, something similar would be in windows, name it whatever you want and upload if its under allowed size to forum

Okay - thanks for the suggestion lietuvis
Here is a zip file containing the gerber files for both SMD and through hole boards
They are both together, but if you know how to use gerber files you should now how to edit them to suit your chosen format
cheers

RE: BAJA three band active bass preamp:
Here is a more friendly component value schematic for the through hole board layout.
I very much doubt that you would hear any difference to the 051112 schematic previously posted in this thread, but I am sure you will find the components much easier to find.
You can use either the LF442 or TL062 (both are equivalent bifet input low current drain op amps for extended battery life
)
I just finished populating a through hole board with these component values - it will be a wee while before I can install it in the Jazz bass I am putting together though - I have to make the body first
I already have the neck, machine heads, pickguard, control plate and pick ups (neodymium button magnet and steel pole piece design) sorted, so won't be too long before I can play it
cheers

this is cool,what are the center frequencies for each band?
I'd like to know if there is an existing board with fixed B and T and parametric mids all in one,otherwise i could try to design it myself.
That with a 20dB boost would be the end of all pres.

look back in the thread
- see the graphs

Way too much boost

my contribution
a complete project on the yamaha's type preamplifier founded in many brands,who cloned this circuit
I hope you enjoy

Hi bajaman, there is no C12 right? it jumps from C11 to C13, greethings!

Hidden tracks on SMD are a pain. And it's always a little odd to trace a partially populated board. SoI'm pretty much giving up on this, the active circuit from my 4 string Dearmond Pilot pro. I'm just gonna assume standard BF Fender-style TMB unless I get a bug to follow through on the trace.
The external connections are on the PDF.

This is the same Board on the Cort gb75 i had
I did tracing and its all based on gyrators

You know, if I had thought about that, I might have started to look at Cort as it's Korean made. Thanks for saving me the effort on this.

ok folks ,let me help ,i been working on this version of the circuit and has two additional trimmers and a little few more components.i trace everything and this is my work,not checked, but I think together we can finish.
I made this PCB with no SMD components
