mr bassie Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 This beaut was my first "proper" bass (the bass before this one was a huge heavy lump that could have killed a packhorse either though weight or sound) Sadly I now realise it sounds better without the active electronics on - but I'm convinced its a nice piece of wood and that it has potential to sound great does anyone have any suggestions for a pickup/preamp combo? I play finger style old school stuff n/b all for suggestions will be automatically prefixed with IMHO, no posts will be considered legally binding this is the current control system Controls : Volume x 1, Active Treble x 1, Active Middle x 1,Active Bass x 1, Series/ Parallel Switch x 1, Bypass Switch x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Nordstand 4.2 And a J-East pre-amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soopercrip Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That looks like a really nice ash body, Agree with prime Bass on the Nordstand pup I have a 5.1 in my project and it sounds good with the ACG filter amp (made by east) which I can recommend if you can get your head round the way it works. Also used an Aguilar obp2 which is only bass/treble but works well at 9 or 18v, maybe the obp3? a bit cheaper than the ACG Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
