preamp

Here we go guys, a little 'how to' guide on fitting a preamp followed by the review. How to fit a preamp 1. Find yourself a competent mate (in my case, Andy) who won't end up soldering the preamp to his hands instead of the bass.......like i would (aint we a pretty couple!?) 2...

So, as Florin suggested I am starting a thread for anyone interested in the USA and Canada in trying the Hellborg Preamp. If anyone is interested please E-mail Florin and we will designate an organiser for the USA and collectively decide a route for the Preamp and a money handler. Does anyone...

I recently acquired a new 2006 Thumb BO. I am pretty certain I have issues with my pre-amp. The batteries die too quickly. It seems like I have gone through 4 or 5 in the last month. I made sure that the last set I put into it was right out of the package and within a week they were dead...

And the tour started 10 minutes ago. There are two hellborg preamps in tour. One will go to UK and US, the other one in Europe and Australia. For UK, I am waiting Callum to confirm the money transfer. The tour started here in Sibiu, with a new member - Serghei - Sergiu, a good bass player...

I am the owner of a '91 streamer stage II with 2-band eq, 4 pots, volume is push/pull, active pickups. On the back of the preamp is a little blue trimmer pot. For what is this pot and how to adjust it? THX, Uwe

Just an hour ago, Hans Peter Wilfer saw this thread. And he realized that well... the world is large, the stores keeping Hellborg stuff are not that many... So it was his idea to start a group testing for a Hellborg Preamp. (This is so fresh, I still cannot believe it!!!! ) So...

I'm not sure if here is right spot, maybe recording forum might have been a better place. I've seriously been considering a hellborg pre + cheap power amp combo - and been looking into finding ways of funding it(see for sale forum!)....but thats besides the point. Question is would the...

My ampeg svt-4 head has 1 Sovtek, one Groove tube, and one Electro harmonix 12ax7 tube in the preamp at the moment. Im lookin at just rolling in 3 new tubes and I want some low gain warm tubes. As i have no prior experiance in tube rolling I was hoping a pro would chime in and say "bad or...

Ok so heres the thing, I am currently playing a corvette std active I love the feel, the look, etc. But I really really want a thumb, but being quite a bit more in price its far away. . . but I figure I can get the power of a thumb, or something close to it if upgrade my 'vette. But should I...

Hi! I would be very thankful if anybody could explain me one thing. There's a little potentiometer on my Streamer Stage I preamp unit. What kind of adjustment it's aimed for? Pickups output? Or may be preamp output? I tried to adjust it with a little screwdriver - it definitely affects the...

Hello, I've got a 4 string Thumb Bolt-on with a preamp problem. The preamp crackles and pops. I had an electronic tech take a look and he said it's the preamp. How do I get one? Thanks!

Hi, could you confirm me that (joined picture) is an original preamp of a 1992 ss1 5 strings? thanks for your help

SO I've got some money to install an active preamp into my streamer std. I want to go with a 3 band preamp. This probably means a preamp with a three knob setup. My bass is set up with just two knobs, volume and tone. However the input jack sits exactly where it would make sense for a third knob...

Hey guys. I been thinking bout putting an MEC active preamp for passive pickups into my fortress for a while now, but the ones you can buy from the wick shop don't seem to have a push/pull function to bypass the preamp so the bass can still be played passive (like what you get on a thumb, for...

What exactly is happening when I do this (pull up the volume knob)? Does it just bypass the EQ section, or do the pickups become passive single coils? I don't really understand. Anyway, lately I really like the sound with the pre-amp bypassed. It sounds clearer, less boomy and seems to make my...

Hi, ive taken my warwick thumb bo 4str. to the shop over a month ago and nobody seems to be able to find the onboard preamp replacement for that model. Instead of having them stall me for a couple more months id rather get ahold of it myself. If anyone has any info as to where i can find this i...

Hello fellow warwick obsessors! I have a problem with my 5 month old Streamer stage II. On active mode i get a very low volume with distortion, on passive mode the volume is fine but i get constant strange and loud noises. I tried changing the battery and i've also checked every...

I have some questions about the preamp section of my older not neo CCL 15.. 1. What are the frequencies for the eq controls Low Boost, Bass, Punch, Attach, Treb and High boost? 2. What is the frequency range for the parametric mid control? 3. The back panel has a sub boost pushbutton. What...

Hi, I seek for a little advice here as I am a bit confused, hope some of you will help me out. I opened up the cover on the back of my Thumb BO and a small black wire fell out. I tried to take a photo of it, both ends are loose, even though it looks like being attached to something, it is not...

My Warwick Infinity NT 2000 preamp is dead.The book says that Infinity basses come with an onboard active Seymour Duncan Basslines preamp. Can someone verify that I would need to order an STC-2A Seymour Duncan preamp...also where would be the best place to order from to ship to Ontario Canada...
