WHUFC BASS Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Firstly, I'm not connected to this seller in any way shape or form but I've bought from him in the past and the product he's selling was great for my guitars but they could also be used for bass. its a 24v battery pack that's the size of a 12v battery. I know EMG pickups are rated at 27 volts but are mostly run at either 9v or 12v. This little mod increases the voltage and doesn't half make a difference to the tone and sound. Not sure if it'll work for other pickups, you'd need to check what voltage they can be run at. Link is here, not sure if I'm breaking any rules... please feel free to move, zap or smite me down if I've done wrong...

Mr. Foxen Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 18v make enough of a change, don't think a few more volt makes much on top of that, and it cab be done for less than £2: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39906&hl=18v+mod"]In this thread.[/url] Not had trouble gitting two batteries in, well, had some trouble, but it was doable after stirring up the spaghetti monster wiring in my heavily modded sg some.

WHUFC BASS Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Maybe I should have made this clearer.. there's no routing or wiring involved, the battery pack simply takes up the space of one 9v battery and delivers 24v. The battery in the picture on the right is for size comparision. No need to wire anything, it just slips in like a normal battery.

Basszilla Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Nice one Ciaran, i'll look into that and try one out. Been meaning to up the voltage on my spector for a while and this looks like a good way to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
