G&L PTB circuit (passive treble bass)

[Deleted]

I see some G&L guitars have this Master PTB pot for all 3 pickups as well as Master Tone pot and Master Volume! This is so cool to have on a Strat think I   

I looked around the net and it seems many have respect for this PTB circuit. Do you know anything about it? Im looking again at the G&L guitars and those strats with Alnico V pups might just be the thing for me especially because they have these Master pots (PTB, Tone and Volume) not found on normal strats (which always lack the bridge tone pot).

The guitar Im looking at is the G&L Legacy Tribute LPB

No P90 in this so might just need to wait for HB to get a new p90 model in the future.Or save for a G&L Fallout ... any way, what do you know about this PTB Tone System?

Is it similar to the Reverend bass contour knob?

Could be even though this one is more like a 2 band EQ I think and does not muddy the sound even if turned off totally (as it would on normal Tone pots)

From what I understand the Reverend Bass thing is a low pass filter.

I always add the jumper wire to give the bridge use of a tone pot.
