    2 Band Versus 3 Band

    I’m sure there’s a thread out there somewhere on this but what can you gear heads tell me about why 2 band preamps IMO tend to sound so good compared to a 3 band? I’ve owned probably 35 basses in the last 10 years with various configurations and some of my favorite basses have been 2 band...

    Orange's Bass Butler vs Walrus’ Badwater

    Hello everyone, my first post! I am relatively new to the bass world (I am retired guitar veteran) but I want to have a simple bass effect setup.

    V5 on SVT300 preamp

    Valve 5 on my svt300 preamp, with the 6C4 tube, does not have one of those metal sleeves. Is this normal? Mine is an older model, from about '72-'75. I am having trouble with crackling noises in my amp, and those noises seem to be associated with Valve5. I have tried new 6C4 tubes; still...

    SPECTOR over sensitive bass knob (like ON / OFF)

    Hi guys! I bought a used 2003 Spector euro 4 bass and I am facing a bit of a problem. The bass knob operates on a quite ON/OFF way. From 0% to 89 % it makes absolutely no diference on the sound. When the bass knob hits kind of 90% the bass has a bump and functions like a ON/OFF, in a way that...

    Good preamp replacement for Ken Smith Burner?

    Original preamp in my Burner 89' went dead. Anyone would give me some advice for a good replacement? I need something, that will not change Ken's sound. Haz Lab preamp is impossible to find online.

    Dual audio blend knob and three way switch?

    Hello! I am currently building a bass and I am in the wiring stage. I have two pickups on the bass and would like to use a three way selector switch to switch between them since the idea for the tone came from the Gibson Ripper basses which used rotary switches to switch between pickups. I...
