    Pre-amp circuit diagram

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    I want to build my own pre-amp for a bass-build. I'm good enough with a soldering iron to do it, and its a nice little project for me. I've got a design for a MM 2EQ, but I want 3EQ, and if possible sweepable midrange so I can pick the frequency to cut/boost.

    So, what designs out there? I want full boost/cut control, not just a boost function. And for the mid I am planning on using a concentric stack pot.

    Thanks all.

    Looking at a new Tanglewater, probably an aspiration artist, as a scottish shop is knocking them out very cheap. However, I won't be able to try before I buy. Do I risk it? Current bass is a P Bass Lyte deluxe, and I like it.

    That, sir, is genius. And I just happen to be pretty decent with a soldering iron, so more than happy to play about with making the MM2EQ preamp. I might be back for some assistance/thoughts.

    Any thoughts on putting a side entry jack in? How hard is it, and what to do with the spare hole? I guess you could mount the switch that you have on yours?

    Had the opportunity to have a little play on an indonesian 'Ray at the weekend when buying my new (to me) amp. And I really quite liked it. But I can't find them. Have they become the Sterling by MusicMan Ray 34 range?

    What about the SUB range of SBMM? Are they any good?

    For reference, my usual bass is a PBass Lyte Deluxe, and I had a Warwick Streamer LX 5, which I would have kept if it didn't have the extra string. Next bass was going to be a second hand warwick 4 string. Until the weekend.

    New amp please

    I'm looking for something light weight (but compared to 25kg of Trace RAH600SMX!!). I don't need huge amounts of power - I have my Trace head for that if I ever need it again (can't bear to part with it though). I don't want to spend an absolute packet, but I don't see the point of spending buttons for crap. Quite happy with clean rather than a dirty rock sound.

    In short, I want something that isn't going to break the bank or my back, but is worth the money I spend.

    One thought is a Mark Bass Blackline 250, but am wondering whether that falls into the 'buttons for crap' bucket.

    Have to say, I like my Trace head, and if it wasn't 25Kg, I probably wouldn't be bothering to replace it.

    Anyone tried a 5string and not like them? And why?

    Commissioned and bought a Warwick Custom Dolphin SN 5 a few years ago.
    I used it gigging/recording for about a year and struggled with it.
    A fantastic bass which sounded and played superbly BUT in times of stress and terror I couldn't find "home" which, to me, is bottom E.
    Therefore, a really good bass had to go and I've reverted to using olden day 4 stringers with which I'm much more comfortable and confident.
    (Do miss that bottom B note when playing Red House, though - I'll get my Afghan coat and leave for Katmandu, shall I....?) :ph34r:

    This. Except mine was a Streamer LX, not a Custom Dolphin.
