preamp

Hi everyone I recently purchase the Onboard Preamp 4knob version to upgrade the current preamp I have on my bass. There is no issue at the first place and I can use the preamp normally. However, after I change the battery, there is no sound coming out on the active mode. But using passive mode...

Posting this in case it helps anyone else - I bought a (barely) used 2010 Rockbass Corvette, active pickups and preamp. Note - I’d been playing nothing but a piezo-equipped Turner Renaissance for the last 8 years, so my ‘wick knowledge was rusty… After setup the bass played very well indeed...

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...

I wonder if anybody here could tell me some information about the Corvette F.N.A. JazzMan. In which year it started to be produced? If I'm not wrong, there are F.N.A. JM with C-shaped neck and D-shaped neck, is it right? If yes, in which year each one of them were produced? And those...

Hi there, how are you?? I need the schematics for my F.N.A. Jazzman 5 '02 with Seymour Duncan Basslines preamp. All links that I found are broken and Warwick just let us to download the schematics of the MEC preamp. I think that the file name may be: 60045sd.pdf Since now, thanks!!

Hi Fellow Forumers, I want to purchase a new pre amplifier (build in) for my Warwick Streamer Stage I. my bass is a 5 string built in 1988 with Bartolini pickups (soapbars) i do not know if these PU's are active or passive. What preamp do you suggest? one from Warwick, Aguilar or ...

Hi everyone, after hearing lots of positive things about the Darkglass Electronics B7K, I decided it's time to start looking for one. It's probably a long shot, since these pedals are becoming more and more popular by the day. I'm not in a rush, though. ;-) I think it's a great pedal, but...

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

Hi all :D, I love the old warwick streamer bass and i search informations about the EMG preamp who was put on it at beginning. did someone have a wiring diagram of it? i have bought this preamp with the emg pickups from a '84 streamer but i don't know how to connect it with the pots! i...

Hey everyone, today my new Hellborg Preamp arrived in the mail. I'm really happy with the way it sounds. At this moment I'm running a direct signal to my audio interface, so I can play with headphones. My idea is to use the preamp for recording, as I don't have a band to play live with. Right...

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, 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...

I have recently purchaseds a new old-stock 05 Streamer LX4. Firstly it totally blew me away, the clarity of the J and the increadible growly meatiness of the P pups are about as nice as i've heard. The only issue i haveis that coming from playing a LX jazzman i'm really missing the mid...

So, the batteries in my '98 SS2 finally died. I'm running an 18v system and here's the thing. While in active mode, it started spitting. I pulled the volume knob to passive and nothing happened. When I connected a new battery to one lead, passive worked but not active. When I connected the other...

Following up on a lengthy thread over in the bass guitar forum related to a quite loud hiss in a 1997 Thumb NT 4-string (18v preamp). The bass produces a good amount of hiss when in active-EQ mode -- very quiet when in EQ bypass mode. I would like to replace the preamp with a current MEC...

hello there this is my first post. hopefully you guys can give some insight my friend has a corvette basic and i have a streamer std. both old gen rockbass. so i'm wondering if i got the preamp from one of the older rockbasses, or i guess any on board preamp at all, is it simply a matter...

Greetings. I wonder if anyone ever installed a Aguilar OBP-3 preamp in some warwick bass? (OBP-3TK/PP model specifically, because these come with a midrange frequency selector, some come with a swicth, and this one comes with a push / pull pot, instead of the switch) I have a Streamer Jazzman 5...

Hi, first time post here, I have a Streamer CT that I love but am currently trying to get a passive tone control modded or a preamp with one in it. I stumbled upon a youtube video with a Jazzman that has a nice pre setup. I posted a thread in another forum about it... Saw this youtube vid of...

Does anybody know where I could get a replacement MEC preamp for my 87 88 ?? Thumb. Since a power outage/restore at a gig recently I am intermittantly getting volume loss and distortion. It has to be the preamp going faulty, I have metered out the wiring and checked all solder joints, the jack...

Hi, Hope you can help me.. The Lakewood Mk2 Pre-amp in my 91 German built Alien Bass dont work. (Batteries are ok) I think the pre-amp is at fault. What is the best way to get this checked out? Should I remove all the electrics and send to a specialist for repair or leave all intact ? Can...
