Hi does anyone know if the M-60023-09 3-band EQ with 3 pots (as fitted to the Thumb i.e. volume/pan stack, bass/treble stack, mid) can be used with passive pickups (2 MEC "dynamic correction" J pickups in a Corvette standard), or is it only for active pickups? This is the one: I can...

Hey chaps ! As some of you may know, I have a Sandberg California EX5, in addition to my Warwick Streamer LX CS. Recently, the 3 band Glockenklang preamp mounted on my Sandberg died, so I talked about this with Sandberg, and they sent me a Sandberg 2 band (as I requested) preamp as a...

Hi guys, Been wondering if the APJ ( the Pro Active P & J pickups) Seymour Duncans will fit in my Warwick Streamer Stage I. Pretty sure they will as the Seymours are a direct replacement for Fender Jazz basses but want to make sure before I order them. also buying the STC board... this...

i don't know how many warwickers love passive pickups, but i am one of them. i do know that a lot of warwickers LOVE MEC's. i also know that their ONLY one complain is allways that hum. now .. can we ask for dual in line passive TJ's and J's in the future? please .. :roll: ollie, florin...

I have a quick question for anyone who has a Corvette with active J-style pickups: Is the red wire the output and the white wire 9V? Or is it the other way around? I'm assuming the shield on the white wire is ground, but I can't seem to find anything to indicate which is which for power and...

I got some distortion issues with my Dolphin! I took a look inside and it's a mess, looks like a few repairs have gone on over the years, so I removed the pots and with no effort the neck pick up cable came away, easy fix! I checked out the wiring diagram, all looks fine apart from one of the...

Hello Everyone! I'm so happy I just got the good luck to come across a second-hand thumb 5, which is my favorite bass ef all time (needless to say...) The problem I have is that this bass, unfortunately, has no pickups (don't know why, I got it like that at a price that could NOT be...

what a genius Idea [/list]

I have a 89 Stage 2 4-String with 2 band electonics (old MEC I believe) and EMG PUs the sound is great but not as spectacular as on my 06 Stage 2 5 String . I am thinking about putting in the new electronics and PU What do you think?

Does anyone know where they are manufactured?

Is it possible to have a MEC MM pickup with covered poles? Because of the tuning i use for my basses, and my playing style i tend to get that annoying "click" a lot :roll:

if a twin j pickup is used, is there a way using 3 way MEC electronics to coil tap it? also, does the coil tapped twin j (i'm pretty sure that means the coils are reduced to the number of a single j) sound inferior to a true single j? also, how is pickup mix/isolation achieved on warwick basses...

I am live in Taiwan, I would like to buy MEC 3 band circuit for my Warwick and maybe MEC JJ pickup as well, there is a Warwick agent in Taiwan but the service is poor, so I would like to buy on line, where can I fine it ??

Hi, Does anyone have an MEC 2 band wiring diagram? Thanks Joe.

Not much else to say really - mine are getting shiny when I plant my thumb, just wondered if it's a possibility to change them at a later date. P

Would this be interesting on a Warwick ?? Why not actually ?? You'll just have more possibilities right ?? Or am I missing something ?? :idea:

I have a tiny tiny slight bit of acquisition syndrome towards a Thumb NT 6-string at the moment. And I'd love to get guidance here. My question is regarding the sound difference between the MEC single coils (NT-5) and the MEC soap bars (NT-6). I spent several hours swapping between a Thumb...

With EQ set flat, my 2001 Thumb BO is less loud than my 2 other basses - American P bass and Geddy Lee jazz bass, both of which of course have passive pickups. I want to know how others perceive the output level of their MEC active single coil type pickups. I've always thought active pickups are...

Greetings all! I am planning on putting in a Aguilar OBP - 3 into my streamer LX 5. I was wondering if anyone knows what the MEC pickup leads represent. I have a white wire (18 guage) from each pu to the blend pot, and a red wire (22guage) that goes to the preamp board. I assume that...

Hi everybody !!! I think already to my future CS Warwick, and I have really problems to choose the type of pickups... :roll: So I want to know your opinion !!! Can you describe your MEC in your bass ? nice bottom-end ? more growly ? etc ? I can't choose my configuration because I...
