    Upgrade to 18V

    Hey guys, I was wondering, is it possible to upgrade the electronics of my Corvette $$ to 18V? If so how would that affect my sound? I know that 18Vs generally give more headroom, but are there any other effects? Also would you recommend it or should I keep my bass as it is?

    18v mod

    I've figured out how to modify the electronics to run off 18v! I make wiring harnesses for this type of application, and it doesn't change your original wiring. I make these wiring harnesses and have researched this extinsevly. I have to say the tonal differences are night and day!

    SSI w/ Aguilar OBP-3 18v & MEC pu's

    Does anyone have this setup in their SSI? I just put the aguilar in my SSI and the low end seem to be really 'woofy' sounding. I am using the same setup as before when the mec preamp was in it, all flat on the eden. Do you think the Aguilar may be a bad match for the MEC pick ups?

    18v headroom down to 9v

    My bass currently has 18v on the battery compartment... How would the sound change if I dropped it to 9v? Would I get more or less of the Warwick sound? If I were to do this, would I simply just need to unplug one of the batteries and there would be no harm to the electronics? thanks!
