Im uprgrading my 1970 Jazz CS.... i dont want to take anything away from the character of the bass, i just want to enhance it.the stock pups leave me a bit cold....have been talking to Mark at Bass Direct, and he gave me some ideas about this... Im going to see him tomorrow and talk about putting in some Nordstrand NJ4SE pups and Creative Audio Redeemer circuit in the bass..Now this is an active circuit but it wont colour the sound at all, just enhance what is already there..Cant wait to hear what it sounds like.. Also there is NO routing (as i would NEVER do this)..it just pops straight under the control plate and i can always put the original stuff back.. Anyone installed either of these in there jazz....

Well you learn a new bass fact everyday..thanks Alex of course an outboard preamp will make not alot of difference.. Think there is an Audere circuit i could pop straight in or just some Nord split coils.. Well you gotta learn somewhere..

Using an outboard preamp pedal to make a passive bass 'active' is no different from claiming plugging a bass into an amp makes it active! It's just a load of extra EQ. Alex[/quote] Are you saying Alex that if i bought a Tone Hammer it would sound exactly like my AG500? My Question is general because i want to get different opinions on different pedals..whats best was probably missleading..

WOW im really suprised to hear this about Sadowsky...maybe there having a few quality issues..

I did search this..but im thinking of getting a external pre amp to run the Fender Jazz through for a four string active option. I have no experience of these..are they very good..will it totally change the tone of the Jazz? What are the best...i had an Aguilar OBP2 in my recently sold Ostinato and it sounded awsome..but of course it had EMG's

Stingray 5..the best B string ive ever played..Phat a punchy Which Sei 5 did you own Russ??
