thanks Alan, it is going to be a squeeze but a lot less than I though, thing the East knobs just look uber chunky. Better start saving for a pre

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='374395' date='Jan 8 2009, 08:16 PM']It's a beautiful bass and would complement the ACG pre well methinks. If you go for an ACG pre I'd hang fire on the pups and see if you need to replace them. Peter[/quote] thats my plan, the current pre is damaged yet the current pickups are just a bit disappointing so pre then pups is the obvious order

Thanks Alan, that would be great, was very impressed with the EQ in your basses so this is the next best think till I can afford (and justify) an ACG.

is that easy to do with Barts?

Hello fine folks, bit of input required: Got a second hand Sei bass last month, love her, so easy to play and a real beaut but the sound ain't quite there. there isnt the punch and power of my Dingwall, this is to be expected since much of this is the scale of the Dingy but I am considering upgrading the pickups and pre on the Sei and would appreciate some advice or thoughts. The current Bartolini pups don't do her justice i believe and the pre will need attention at some point as it has clearly taken a bash in the past and the pots are a little dodgy. Pup wise I want something powerful and punch in a 6 string humbucker/soapbar stylee. Nothing too aggressive but something with thump and character. I predominantly play rock and metal. I like the look of Nordstrand dual coils but £300 is a bit steep. Pre wise there are currently 5 holes in the top so it will have to be something to fit that. Love the idea of an ACG 02 as the sound from Alans basses is nothing short of incredible and the preamps are so versatile. My concern is that the pots on my sei are very close together and that the concentric knobs on the pre maybe to tightly packed to be used easily. do you think this is a realistic problem? is there somewhere you can buy skinny concentric knobs? any other suggestions for preamps? I aint looking to purchase stuff right away but ideas will help fuel my GAS and decisions here is a picture of the bass in question [attachment=18315:DSC00187.JPG] thanks in advance for any help

prob B but i would thin out the top horn, bit too chunky

ah well that makes sense

argh more dingwall dissing the extreme fanning isnt to look pretty it is to give optimum tension as I assume you know. Nothing quite matches a 37" B, i can see why visually it might aesthetically off putting though This bass is looking great, I am getting single cut cravings

SUPERIOR TO A DINGWALL!?! nothing is superior to a 37" B! that build looks awesome though, lovely piece of work

EBS will do 2ohm as well. worth considering. the idea of a 2460D with my fafner is a tempting option

[quote name='alexclaber' post='360693' date='Dec 22 2008, 08:59 AM']My current intention is for the cloth to be fixed onto the metal grill so you get the best of both worlds! Alex[/quote] Awesome, i'll save up ma pennies when I have paid off the Sei

Asking the opposite of Bigwan: would be possible to get a retro but with a metal grill, think your well built, high sensitivity 2x15 would go well with my Fafner, not sure I want the risk of a cloth front though. Not looking for anything in the near future just assessing the possibilities I have. thanks

[quote name='Delberthot' post='356595' date='Dec 17 2008, 01:47 AM']Sounds like a bargain. If you need a lift through let me know. All I need is petrol money, a strong coffee and a shot of your Dingwall[/quote] wish I had seen this earlier, gonna get a taxi. If you want to ever come try my Dingwall and Sei then just bring your Schroeder and I will get the coffee on the go
