Bypassing on board preamp

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've recent bought a Vintage est96 stingray copy which comes with a 3 band active equal on board which, if I'm honest, is not that great. It lacks clarity and a few people have complained about it when reading reviews. A recommended mod is to pull preamp and wire each coil to it's own volume control. I'm debating doing this but I'm not that savvy with electronics unless got a good idea how to do it.

Anyone done this before and got any pointers? Do I need to get new pots as well?

Cheers.

Just seen this on internet, a stingray preamp for £41 sounds like a bargain? Is this the real deal?

This talkbass thread gives some good advice. It also mentions the pre amp you saw for £41 at the end of the thread [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/mm-pickup-basslines-bassculture-villex-156511/"]http://www.talkbass....-villex-156511/[/url]

I can make you a solderless kit if you're not so good at soldering.
