You wont be disappointed with the pre-amp. If you look inside you will see two white trim wheels which allow you to change the frequency of the bass and treble pots. This allows a degree of customisation to suit your own needs. Alan

Those are really good. As is well documented I am crap at taking pictures. Can I steal them for my site.

I have used several East preamps with Armstrong pickupscand have been very happy with the results.

Yes the filters are the same and if you take the treble filter right out as well. On the Recurve the treble path is coming from the mag pickup. Inside the cavity there is a trim pot on the main board that allows the treble feed to come from either of the two inputs. This can be varied to any point between the two. I usually put it fully on the mag because the piezo can be a bit over powering in the treble department. If you feel you want more top end moving this more towards the piezo will give you it.

I would be really interested in your thoughts regarding the two piezo setups to see if the chambering makes a difference. Different woods as well which will make a difference but hopefully not as much as the chambering. Alan

There are 4 body shapes so not just that one. 6 strings I am not sure about I will see if there is any interest. That 5 is a 35" scale.

I have fitted them on to my usual headstock so it should be OK. If you want I can supply the extender as well. Alan

Hi The pre-amp does require more than average in terms of power there is a lot going on in there. In this case with that amount of playing I don't think there is a problem just a monster wmount od use. Alan

Best of luck with the Buckeye, finding it will not be that difficult in the US here not so easy,working with it is a complete pain.

What are you looking for.

That is certainly a new one on me. But now that you mention it they do click having used a few on my friends farm,just never occurred to me that there would be electric fences near your house.

Best of luck finding it. It took me about a week to work out what was causing the clicking.

I will have a chat with John East and see if he can suggest anything. I frankly have no idea what it could be having never heard of this before in relation to any of the basses.

The only time I ever had clicking coming through speakers was caused by a knackered starter in a fluorescent tube that was being picked up buy the gear plugged into it.

I have never heard an earthing problem that caused a click not saying it is not possible but I have never encountered it.. I could see how it would be a problem related to the bass but it seems to be present with other gear as well and also goes away when at other locations.

Very nice job Kev.

That is really rather nice I have to say.

Interesting. I have never been able to do that as I don't have a standard type bass to compare it to.

PS Alan - have you ever noticed that your logo looks like a space man jumping for joy when the bass is viewed vertically?[/quote] I know quiet like the whole idea of that.

Why don't you try posting on this forum. [url="http://mimf.com/cgi-bin/WebX"]MIMF[/url] There is a glues and finishes section. They are very helpful and I am sure someone there will have painted a bass they way you want to. Alan

Looking positively tropical in your garden. Alan

Greenish tinge could make it Tulipwood (poplar).
