    Spector: Remove Preamp

    Anyone remove their preamp from their Spector and run it with tone knobs? (like a passive bass) I'm thinking of eventually getting a Aguilar OPB-2 but don't want to spend that much at the moment. In the meantime I thought running it VVTT with the EMGs could be a cool idea. I currently have a...

    Cave Passive pedals Grunt...any good?

    I'm asking this as I wrote to them two or three weeks ago. They have not written back yet and although I do not buy from people that don't communicate I'd like to know more about this pedal for if and when I hear back from them. Thanks!

    OBP-3 passive tone control?

    I'm sorta leaning towards the Aguilar OBP-3 preamp (2 pickup, 4 knob, 1 switch); Control Configuration Volume Volume Mid Push/Pull (Freq. Selection) Treble/Bass Stack Active/Passive Switch. - Thing is, I'd like to have the option of a passive tone control when I'm in passive mode. I know...

    Lakland dj5 passive rewiring

    Anybody ever rewired the DJ5 passive electronics to master volume blend tone? All of my other basses are active and I want this one to stay passive. Personally I prefer this type of passive setup vs v/v/t. Just wondering other people's experience. If anyone has a wiring diagram that would be...

    Passive Bypass Switch

    I was adviced to ask this question here instead. I've search all over the Internet and TB and can't seem to find this info (or ask the question the right way). I'm wanting to add a passive bypass switch to my MIM PBass Special. First time I attempt something like this. Is it as easy as...

    Converting Active Jazz to Passive Jazz

    Hi everyone, I've got a Mexican Deluxe (active) Fender Jazz bass. I'm not a big fan of the pickups in here, and I'm considering taking out the active electronics and putting in passive pickups and a taking out the preamp. I understand that in order to do this I would need to replace the control...

    Bass Guitar Electronics Question: passive to active conversion.

    I have a passive Carvin B50 with two volumes and a tone control. It has their quieter H50A pickups. I would like to add a preamp to boost the signal a bit. What I need are suggestions about which preamp to consider that won't require major surgery to the bass. I like the EMG BTC but have...

    Fender mim Precision Special (passive)

    Hi all, Just picked up this awesome bass from a fellow TB member. I threw on some GHS Boomers but with the added tension there's a slight bow now. What size allen wrench do I need for this one. I'd like to give the truss rod a quarter turn to see if that corrects the action just a bit.

    I have been reading a lot of threads about custom wiring jobs on basses and haven't really seen an answer to this question, so I am going to pose it myself: Two pickup Zon with four knobs and two mini toggles: Can the pickups be wired to a switch choosing between two discreet signal paths back...

    I'm planning on changing my bass pickups, going from passive to active!

    I primarily play on a Warwick rockbass corvette 5 string, with music-man style pickups and I really don't dig the sound I'm getting out of them, especially the bridge pickup. The sound is super dry and dead, and not musical in any way, shape, or form. I'm thinking about adding some EMG's with a...

    Passive fretless - P/J or J/J?

    I found an interesting vintage, fretless Precision bass, with a retrofitted J-pickup in the bridge position. The bass is passive, no preamp. What can I expect such an instrument to sound like? Will it have enough "cut" to work in a traditional rock band setting, do you think? I generally prefer...

    Active vs passive?

    Going to be involved in a recording session soon. Any thoughts on using active (Stingray) vs passive (Epiphone Accubass)? I've heard that a passive bass works better in the studio, but I wanted some more input. Pun mildly intended.
