    Pedal preamp to emulate the onboard Musicman Stingray 5 pre

    I'm building a Stingray 5 clone. I'ts going to get an alder body, Status Graphite neck, Seymour Duncan mm-pickup and a Hipshot bridge. Instead of an onboard preamp I'm going to get a pedal preamp to use between the bass and the amp. Do you have any opinions on what pedal pre will sound closest...

    Onboard and offboard preamp

    Hi guys. Quick question about preamps. I'm currently using an aguilar OBP-3 on my bass and i was wondering what would be the effect of using a tone hammer with the onboard preamp. Is there any benefit to using a onboard preamp together with an offboard one?

    I pulled this from my Japanese Momose bass. It has a warm tone. Bass, treble, balance and volume. Almost has a tube preamp warmth to it. I had it paired to single coils and it was a good balance to the bright pickups. Momose is made by the factory that builds Bacchus, Str and other high end...

    Which would you choose?

    An active pickup set (ie: EMG PJx), an onboard preamp (ie: EMG BQC), or a pedalboard preamp (ie: MXR M81) and why? I'm just curious who uses what and in which situation each seems to fare best.

    Do Sadowsky onboard preamps work for both 4 and 5 string basses?

    I have a 2013 Jazz Bass American Deluxe 5 string. The preamp is making a buzzing noise so it has to be replaced. When I switch to passive mode the noise disappears. I've read that others have had their Fender preamps fail too so I don't want to get another Fender preamp. It seems most everyone...

    can an onboard preamp (active bass) use passive pickups?

    Pretty straight forward question. And if the answer is that an active bass with an onboard preamp can have passive pickups, is there any good reason why it should or should not?

    Sadowsky Onboard Preamp Issue

    Big fan of the Sadowsky preamp in my Fender Jazz Deluxe bass but it has recently developed an issue where the active circuit "cuts out" at times which forces me to use passive mode. I suspect the VTC control is the problem as it has a lot of static when rotating the knob even after I sprayed...
