Yes possibly. I was experimenting with EQ in my multi fx. I do like having the controls to hand on the bass though.

Will take a look at this. Thanks everyone for your input. Lots to think about. It's been quite a while since I've soldered anything but if a preamp comes up for a good price I might start there as the Bartolinis have sounded good in some other basses I've tried.

Yes, should have said, Bartolini mk1 and markbass preamp. From what I've read you don't actually bypass the pre when switching it out, it just does a pseudo neutral setting. Not sure how true that is as there is a bit of a volume drop.

Hi everyone, I love the way my cort B5 plays. It fits me well, its light, however I'm increasingly frustrated with the sound. I can't get the mids definition that I'm after. My fretless sire v7 sounds better but doesn't feel as comfortable. Is there mileage on trying new preamps in the cort? The sweepable mids in the Sire is really useful. Or would new pickups be better? I've tried a few different basses in shops recently and nothing has come close to the feel (this could be a setup thing?). The best sound I tried was a lakland 5502. But it's a bit pricey for now.... So, what would you do? Chase the different components or is there a bass that feels like the cort but sounds like a jazz?

Golden advice! I always struggle with playing too hard as I tend to practice at home unamplified. Switching on the amp really helps with fluency and lightness of touch. It also shows up any badly fretted notes that I miss when unamplified.
