Hello! Got this bass in a trade a few months ago... didn't really consider selling it before but I have too much bass gear around. Made in Germany by Wolfgang Staab, pretty famous classical luthier involved into SKC Germany. It's from mid 80s, based on a Spector NS shape (also has the concave...

Thinking about changing the pre amp in my new Corvette Rockbass Premium 5 string. I really like the bass but the active electronics are a bit noisey and quite middy. Was looking at the Bartolini 3 band with mid frequency sweep. Any one ever try this combination with the stock MEC pickups? Or...

Thinking of installing a Bartolini 3 band active/passive pre amp and all pots with the MEC golds im my 2013 Rockbass Corvette premium. Anyone on here try this c I mbo or something similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Can someone help me? The electronics of my new Thumb don't work. It has bartolini pickups and I guess the just the balance pot and bass/treble stacked. Also it has active/passive push/pull on volume, something I havent seen on my other thumbs yet. The problem is that I don't get any sound...

Hello everyone, I've been searching all over google and I have been quite close to getting an answer but I'm not quite there yet... I had posted a different thread of a Streamer Stage I, I purchased a while back. The wood is great but being a '98 model, the hardware could be cleaned, and...

I just wondered, when did warwick stop using EMG's and Batrolini's in their basses and what were the reasons for doing this?

...for me to start thinking about my future CS... If some legal stuff goes well, I will order it around New Year.. and for being an attention whore to the max, I will spam the forum with this thread until I get my bass and then I will spam the forum with the pics.. ;) what I will get: Streamer...

Hello folks. I got a wonderful 6 string fretless Thumb from 1996. Instead of the MEC pickups I found the Bartolini soapbars on this bass, and I think they're perfect for fretless (I got another 4 string fretless Thumb from 1990 with MEC pick ups and it sounds pretty different). I was just...

What's the sound and performance differences on these?

Hey guys, I replaced my active MEC P Pickups in my XBass, with Passive Bartolini. I recorded some before/after clips for you :-) I like both of them, but I chosed the Barts for a more vintage sound. middle - both pickups neck- neck pickup only

I am wondering who use bartolini on his Thumb Bass?? MEC & EMG are popular choice but my Thumb 5 came with Bartolini, it sounds fat but not Funky so I took them out, the bartolini thing is many years ago and the circuit is MEC 2 way, very small output compare to EMG. I never find the right...

Quick question. On my 1991 Dolphin 5, there are Bartolini soapbars. Can anyone tell me the model number on these pickups? Thanks

Hey i've seen loads of SSI's with bartolini pickups and was wondering if any guys here had played or own a SSI with barts. And if so what do that sound like as by the comments going around its almost the holy grail of setups... If you own one and could give some sound clip as well that...

So, finnaly re-wired my bass with the Bart' Two Band EQ and fixed the jack-barrel. Sounds much, much clearer and "woody", with much better tones and mids. I would strongly recomend the Bartolini preamp to any kind of bass player... Replacing the preamp is making me wanna customize my bass...

Hi I like to change my Mec pickups for Batolini pickups on my Thumb bolt-on 5 but what's exactly the good Bartolini size ? thanks

My first Warwick is Thumb Bass NT 5 with Bartolini, it sounds so focus, but small output and bad slapping, I can't not believe that Thumb bass is not a funky bass so I start to change the pickups.... Now I still looking for the best setup for my Thumb NT 5, the reason I post this is because...

Hey all, Got my vette $$ bo 4 a few days ago. Awesome bass. I have heard of a few people on here who have, or intend to switch their MECs for Barts. I am very happy with my MECs as they are, and I have the best tone I've ever had from a bass, but I would like to know what else the barts...
