[quote name='MoJoKe' post='431388' date='Mar 11 2009, 11:53 AM']I have just gone from "No Spectors" to two in the last month! I found my first acquisition, a Black Cherry ReBop 5 very easy to get the best tone from. It is more in line with my Wal and my other active bass setups, with B-T-P-V configuration.
I loved it so much I bought a Euro 5, (again in Black cherry - I've a thing about purple!!) which is absolutely amazing to play, but I am [b]really [/b]struggling with the tone.
I've been playing for 30 years, and would not consider myself an "all on 10" man, but I cannot yet find a sound that is as subtle as the ReBop or my Wal.
Would it be a stupid idea to swap the pre-amps (no not the Wal's!!), as the GAS fund is now completely depleted. or has anyone got something to trade that might help me?[/quote]
You could always swap out the active EMG's for passive EMG-Hz soapbars (as in your ReBop)....
