Recently picked up a GPS Thumb BO 5 from Sweetwater. I noticed that if I played a bit harder, I would get distortion from my clean signal. And would happen more easily down tuned. So, I changed the battery, still there. Lowered the volume pot, still there. Panned between pickups, distortion was...

Hello all, a friend of mine and I recently discovered that on both of our basses (Warwick Corvette $$ 5 String) the pickups are louder when switched to parallel than in the series postition. We just wondered because it doesn't seem to be a bug as it is in both of our basses. After...

Hi, I have two thumbs exactly the same. One is a BO4 and tone is super thick and punchy. I have another BO4 that is thinner sounding and lighter then the thick sounding one. The MEC pickup resistance between the basses are the same and they both use the same two band preamp. I am thinking...

I recently got a new Streamer LX5 Ltd. 2018 with Aguilar pickups and electronics, so I decided to compare it in-depth to my Streamer LX5 Custom Shop from 2015 (MEC). I guess the engineer in me had too much time during lockdown, so I did a lot of variations regarding pickup blend and EQ settings...

Hello folks, Last month I acquired a '99 custom shop Warwick Dolphin 5-string. A couple weeks ago I popped in an Aguilar OBP-2 along with a toggle switch for the twin jazz. I thought everything was working as it should but I felt it sounded slightly different. I have now realized each coil of...

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...

Hello all, In the pickup section of the CS pricelist, we have: "MEC Jazz Broadneck 6 string PU Set" I've emailed Warwick about this, and was told these are passive pickups, with blade-style magnets so that they can be used on non-broadneck basses. I've tried to get more information...

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...

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...

Using my SSII 5 string, I go through some variations between the two preamps in my latest Youtube vid. I installed the stock MEC preamp that came in my '08 Streamer Stage II into a pedal, just the same way that the pre would be wired into the bass, and have the Aggie OBP-3 installed in the bass...

Hi, On this subject I couldn't find with search anything from last couple of years.... Older ones yes, but... Have anyone replaced $$ MEC's with eighter barts, or SD's? Can some one tell which models would fit without any modifications to screw holes etc? Or is it possible at all?
