How many of you guys made the switch and are happy with it? I guess this is more focused on the Thumb bass than anything, being that is what I own. If you switched, did you go pre-amp and PUP's, or just pre-amp or PUP's? Are you happy with the decision? What do you feel that the Bart's...

Hello people, I have decided to give my old bass an upgrade by changing pickups. It's a Cort A5 all maple neck through 5 string with Bartolini MK1 soapbars. These pickups are not actually constructed by Bartolini, just licensed by them and mass constructed in the far east, so perhaps they are...

looking for Mec 3 band EQ preamp and pickup I want to replace the old electronics from my bass and get an updated Mec 3 Band EQ with 4 knobs and 2 soap bars pickups for a 5 string bass. Does anyone can tell me where can I get this stuff at?

Check it out.

Can anyone knows a store in the U.S. that sells MEC pick ups and preamps. I am looking for 5 string Soap bars

Hello, could someone post what the boost/cut frequencies are for the aforementioned onboard preamps? I looked in MEC's website but apparently they are not there. I don't know if the frequencies are different for active/passive pickup versions of the preamps. Thanks.

What's the sound and performance differences on these?

Greetings Warwick forum! I'vre recently bought a pair of MEC active P style pickups. Since I didn't know where else to post this question, here goes: Does anybody know if active MEC's can be powered by 18V instead of just 9V, like EMG's for instance? I emailed the technical support team at...

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

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Warwick and Music Electronic Company (MEC) are the same.....company? You know.....kinda like how Warwick and Framus are?

I'd like to upgrade my mec to a 3 band EQ (it's a '92, only has 2 band ATM). Can anyone recommend any other upgrades? I like the sound as it is, but I'd like mids control onboard. Everything is stock ATM. Can I order the 3 band EQ from Dana B Goods, or is it something I'd have to buy used...

Hello Together, Out of the PU-drop-outs I recently had on my Steamer LX5 BN's balance poti I started to question the whole set-up. Means either buy a new pot (20€) or spend 200€ more and buy a MEC 3 band EQ or even more, replace the MEC PU by Bartolinis and add the related 3-band (~350€ via...

Hi everyone, this is my first post in the forum. I was looking for info about a problem I have with one of my basses and this looks like the perfect place :-) I have a Corvette $$ which has developed an annoying static-like noise when the preamp is engaged. In passive mode is dead quiet. I...

Hi there, I'm curious if there are any experiences with the MEC vintage humbucker here. How does it sounds compared to other pick ups? Thankx!

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?

:D hello to everyone who should help me to bring me some knowledgment about the active/passive from Mec preamp, here my quest: i really love the "passive" (?) sound when i pull the button volume on my 'wick, so is it a real bypassing? foremost,i know that you can't let plug your jack...

Hello friends, i am thinking about doing some mods to my 06 Vette std. Right Now i Put a D-tuner, JAN 3, Stereo gold plated jack. I want to try some new pickups. I know what most are thinking, Why? Well because i want pickups that are individually humbucking. I want To Put In a Model J in the...

Alright, I'm GASing like a house on fire for a Thumb BO 5. I heard Stroud's with the Jazz pickups. The bridge positioning sounds amazing But... soapbars? In contrast to jazz pickups, how would you describe the sound? I'm looking for harsh, bright growlyness. Any help greatly appreciated :)

can anyone tell me if the bass and treble adjustments on the MEC 3 Band are notch/shelving frequency adjustments? ie. if you boost the bass (centred at 100hz) are you boosting all the frequencies below as well or only within a specified Q range?

Does anyone know if you can get (Ovangkol or bubinga) pickup covers for the Thumb 5 BO? Does anyone have any or any pics with them installed? Pro's or con's? Just curious to see what it would look like. Thanks, Tim
