JustaBass Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Recently bought an MTD kingston 6 string bass...it has had an 18volt preamp installed with I presume series parallel switches and a mid frequency select switch. A small blue light comes on briefly when you plug in...does anybody recognise this preamp as I would like to know what it is...???

itu Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Quality Alps pots, the system resembles bartolini, but this is just a hunch. bartolini preamps have had their name printed in the black box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) HZ/LZ makes me think Audere's High Z/Low Z maybe? This Pro Z config has volume/blend, 3 band EQ, two switches and an LED. edit: the bases of the switches and pots look physically very similar also Edited February 5, 2023 by velvetkevorkian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaBass Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Thanks for that...after doing some research I thought it might be that preamp too...its very powerful and a great variety of different sounds 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I had an Audere in a Kingston with the original pickup. I should never have changed it. Idiot I am. The low Z setting spoke with the voice of thunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
