ACTIVE 3 BAND PREAMP FROM BASS COLLECTION JAZZ BASS

just had this removed and replaced with a john east

i know nothing about it 

BUT I have owned loads of bass collection basses and i have never come across one with a 3 band eq so i suspect this is an after market fit

Any way it works its ok and the price includes the jiffy bag and postage

NOT PREPARED TO POST THESE SO COLLECTION ONLY

BUT

I am prepared to accept offers on these two items

TKL small pedalboard  47cm x 32cm

collection only n

mid staffordshire

Gramma pad in zip up bag.  The pad is 59cm x 39cm.

collection from mid staffordshire

its fantastic the electrics are way better than the rubbish in my 3 bass collections

and the 35 inch scale means the B string is useable 

BUT my first bass was a bass collection in about 1990

having owned in the past 5 bass collections

and currently owning 3 identical 5 string jazz basses i do like the necks the balance and the physical feel

BUT i need cash to upgrade the pickups and pre amps

this is the same spec as the the neck through with the EMG pickups and pre amp

i have been told its called the spector legend 5 custom bolt neck

i do not have a precision but i do have a aerodyne pj for sale

i think i used to own this about 7 or 8 years ago

reduced to £380 reduced again to £320

SPECTOR LEGEND 5 CLASSIC plus MADE IN KOREA (the plus has the emg pickups and preamp and gold fittings)

this is an early model possibly a limited edition

which features EMG HZ pickups and the EMG B30 preamp

The current legend 5 classic comes with spector pickups and a 2 band spector preamp

This is a  step up from that with the emg pickups and preamp.

you can see the difference as it has the stacked bass and treble controls.

you can find this model if you google it.   I got it off here from naxos10.

the only real mark on it is shown in the pictures

i have added a gig bag and a new set of elites and am asking pretty well what it cost me.

I have a love affair with 3 x 5 string bass collections which all need new pickups and preamps 

Oh and the other reason i want to go passive is that the preamp in this guitar i really dislike the sound

but what are the best pickups

I have decided to make one of the three 5 string bass collections that i own into a passive bass 

because

i have 3

i quite like passives basses my two fenders are passive jazzes

my first bass collection was a passive 4 string and it sounded great (good pickups)

so  who make the best passive jazz bass  pickups ???????

The Delanos I have in my Bass Collection are JMVC5FE . They are completely silent and a massive improvement over the original SGC Nanyo pickups.

Pete I assume the delanos went in without any wood carving. can you check the measurments of them for me

I have had delanos on a p bass and really liked them

firstly I would like to thank basschatters for the posts of advice they have made.

secondly thanks to Andy and bass bunny for the phone calls

for all the pickup experts here 

the dimensions of both pickups the bass are collection pickups are 94mm long

18mm wide 

and the lug centres are 40mm

thanks guys for all your contributions.

I have had two passive 4 string bass collections

and four active 5 string bass collections.

I currently have 3 active 5 string bass collections the jazz bass style with the brass nut

they all have different preamps but as i acquired them secondhand I do not know if any or all are original.  I gig one of them most of the time 

I am not sure why they are all a bit noisy when i try to use any of the pickups individually. not massive noise you would not notice it on a gig but you would in a studio.

for absolutely silent use I use a spector with emgs and the emg B340 3 band preamp.

THe build quality on the bass collections i think is really good and I would like to upgrade the electrics and or pickups if possible

this is where i need the advice 

are all jazz bass pickups the same size

I was hoping to find a luthier with the relevant experience

the current preamp is 4 knobs which are fixed rigid to a printed circuit board so i was looking to replace it with another 4 knob preamp 

its a 2 band with volume and pan

I use a 5 string active bass collection for most of the gigging I do.  I am very pleased with the bass generally BUT

I would like to upgrade the pickups and the pre amp as the pickups are a bit noisy when used individually ok when both on.

I live in staffordshire and need a good luthier who does this work and can advise me OR HOPEFULLY ADVICE ON HERE

I spoke to two local luthiers who would change the pickups if i got the new ones but both said it was up to me to find the pre amp.

so where do i go to find the gear and the advice
