Peter_Ravenhill98 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi I’m looking for an original preamp for a 1981 Fender precision special bass. Does anyone know where I can buy one in the UK ? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) These come up very rarely on ebay but usually in the US. I had one cloned around ‘82. Not a difficult job for a decent electronics engineer Edited November 15, 2019 by three 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanbass Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hi just wondering if you had any luck finding a preamp for your Precision Special? I'm also in need of one for my 1982 Special. I have managed to find a schematic for the circuit but some of the component values are hard to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I am assuming that some of the pot tangs solder directly on the PCB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanbass Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yes, from what I can make out they all do. The potentiometer for the treble control is a dual gang. One half working the active treble boost and cut and the othe half working as a simple tone control in passive mode. The image is not from my bass, just one I found online. I am making the asumption they would all be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
