Hello
I have acquired a 2009 CMG Jackson Concert Bass (Made in Japan) in mint condition, and I would like to start recording with it.
However I'm a guitarist who has only had Jackson guitars since the year 2000 and I have no idea what these five knobs do on the bass.
It has dual EMGHZ pickups, and 5 knobs (2 on top, one being master volume, the other sort of like pickup toggle with a notch at 50% position, 3 on bottom). I tried to identify the others by watching the EQ graph while I play, but still clueless.
Of course, the pickups have a preamp, and I had to connect a 9v battery in the electronics cavity in order to obtain output.
What do the three knobs on the bottom do?
Btw I love the bass. Not even a scratch on it. However I've noticed that the truss rod cover sticks out a bit at the thin nut, and the binding looks a bit separated from the map of the neck around the butt. Just a tiny bit. Still better than any import bass I have held in my hands. I can't play any guitar without compound radius so it's extra awesome.

Seems obvious when you know what they are, but not if you are me!
