active

Hi guys, I am looking for 4 pot electronic for my bass. It has 2 noiseless jazz pups with 6,9kO and 7,0kO resistance. One guy sells himself claimed MEC 2 band preamp for 45€ which would directly fit my 4 pot bass. but how is it and is it really MEC original? I like quiet operation and read...

When in active mode my MEC system is leaking 0.6Vdc into the signal (measured from tip to sleeve of the guitar lead), is this amount of dc leakage normal ? This is in a '97 corvette std bubinga body, bolt on wedge neck, MEC active J pu bridge, MEC active J pu neck. This dc leakage only...

I play an active which doesn't have a separate battery compartment and am wondering whether it's possible to replace the old style plate that screw on with the new clip on one? Could perhaps be more hassle than it is worth but am intrigued how the clip styled one is held in place? Hope...

So I got this awesome 2006 Corvette STD 5 with passive MEC DC J pups and the volume drop compared to my '04 $$ 4 is very large, so I wanna throw some active guts in it. I wanna keep the passive pups but install an active preamp, a push/pull volume/preamp bypass pot, pickup pan pot, and a stacked...

Hi Guys I have a Corvette Std. which was Factory fitted with Active EMG pick ups : They are a little TOO clinical and top endy for my tastes. I want to get a sound closer to the warmth and grit of my Stage II Streamer which is fitted with Active MEC J/J pickups. Is anyone...

I have a corvette $$(not rockbass) and i have an elusive but really annoying problem.when i use it with active electronics the treble and bass knobs sometimes mess with the volume. more explicitly what happens is when i raise the treble the volume raises improportionately to the basses original...

Hi guys, Im new to this forum and have a question that someone might have previous experience with. I have just enough saved for the warwick rockbass corvette basic 5 string active that I have wanted for a long time and a case for it. My question is do either of the cases (RC10805B or RC...

Hey all I have a Corvette Standard, 5-string Natural Oil finish Bubinga body Ovangkol neck w/Chrome hardware and the passive MEC Dynamic Connection pick ups. the wiring pocket seems plenty big enough to add active circuitry and I remember something about the C-Standard coming with active...

Hi, I'm the proud owner of a RB Corvette $$ for about 8 month now. Coming from a cheaper 5-string this was real improvement and I liked that bass from the start, but there were also some points that I found... well, not dissapointing, but improvabel: - not enough growl on the deep side...

hi, I'm the new owner of a corvette 5 str bass and have a little question about preamp and batteries. It seems that the preamp eat a lot of battery, the last one I changed was only 10 days duration... maybe there is a trick to save battery when I do not use the bass: pulling the volume knob or...

Hi, i have just brought my first bass (RB Fortress P/J active) a week ago and i have many questions. I use to go to a studio to sing with my band and they have a Ibaneze bass cabinet and i have pluged the bass and nothing happened, i couldnt sing on actie mode, then i have switched the bass...

So, I've been trying different MusicMan-style humbuckers in one of my Corvette $$'s... first it was the Seymour Duncan SMB-4D's, then it was the Bartolini MMC's... but up to this point they've all be passive pickups (like the stock MEC's). Next I want to try active EMG's (MMCS), but I wanted to...

What are peoples thoughts on the 3 configurations: passive, passive pickups with active elec, fully active ?

I'm new here, & just acquired an RB Corvette, but I cant tell (maybe I havent digged around enough) whether its active or passive? I'm thinking active, on the basis it has a battery compartment & 9v battery, but.. ;) Serial no (if it helps is RB SN M 038889 S 06. No telling letter 'a' there...

Hi, I am planning to add active tone control to my RB Streamer with 1 PU. I've ordered an ARTEC MT2 module (Bass 80Hz / Treble 8kHz) for doing so. Hope this will give me more flexibility on tone. Anyone out there who has modded his/her RB in a similar way? rgds

Well I finally remember my name to long onto these forums again! And I'm getting back into bass for a band that wanted me to play for them. We are about to go into the studio and we have shows booked and have already played the masquerade in Atlanta, GA which is pretty cool! But anyway...I...

Hi All, I have decided to buy a Warwick Corvette Standard in Ash. However, I'm not sure what advantage there will be tonally between having a passive pickup model with passive electronics or the passive pickups with the selectable active/passive electronics. My other basses are a Fender MIA...

Do any of you guys now if it is possible/easy to upgrade a passive Warwick to active? I'm thinking of buying a second hand Corvette Standard 5 passive for cheap and then upgrading it to active later on. Any thoughts? I assume I could just go straight to MEC and order the preamp etc. Dave

Hi everyone, first post here. :) I got a Rockbass back in November (not sure what kind), and am considering putting an active EQ in it to get some extra clarity and definition. I don't know much about what's available or what's good, though, and was wondering if there were any suggestions...

New guy with a problem... I managed to rip out the battery from my '96 Corvette Standard 5. (Don't ask!:roll:) I have looked at the wiring schematics on the site and can't find one that matches the configuration and colors that I have inside...and I don't know where the wires came loose...
