  1. Just completed my first pickup and active preamp install. Pretty chuffed with myself :)

      Any photos or additional details?  Which bass, pickups and preamp? :)

      I should have taken pictures as I went!

       

      I dropped Bartolini MK6CBC pickups and HR 5.4AP/918 preamp into a Cort SCMS.  Quite a considerable upgrade to my ears, as it now has active/passive switching and also three way mid selector switch.

       

      Once the original electrics were stripped out I added two coats of conductive paint as the (single) original coat was not applied very well.  Made sure I had continuity between the pickup and preamp cavities and away I went.

       

      Everything went in nice and easy, although there wasn't a lot of room and some of the wires were very thin so soldering was a challenge in places.  It looks a bit of a mess from the picture below, but it's all in and working which is the most important thing.
