I have a 2001 Thumb NT, and quite recently got a 2004 Thumb NT fretless. To my surprise, the preamp in the latter is 9V. Does anyone know why this change was made? It seems to me that the 2004 distorts more easily, and that I need to have the pickups farther from the strings to avoid this. Does that make sense? (FYI, I tune my basses two full steps down, so that they are tuned G C F Bb Eb.)
