preamp

I must change the BEC-II of my Thumb 6 BO, it is way too weak, but I have problem to find a preamp with mid control in 3 knob....they usually need 4, would you put one more hole on your Warwick bass??

So my close friend and bassist just got sent a free bartolini two band EQ preamp by mistake... and he gave to me for my birthday! Now im thinking i might wanna switch out my preamp for the bart to see what its like... what is thois gonna do to the tone? I mean i allready add 5-7 dbs of bass on...

Hi, Is there any one here own a Thumb 6 bolt on had PU or preamp replacement?? My Thumb 6 sounds much small than my other Warwicks, it is SD PU w/ MEC 2 band EQ(factory setup), I can't find the PU for my Thumb 6, the size just doesn't match, so I will go change the circuit to Bassline EQ...

Yes, I've got them :-) Yesterday was my first rehearsals with them, I just plugged them into the 811 ND cabinet and the first feeling was that the cabinet didn't sound like a ND cabinet anymore. The sound I've got was a fat, warm and punchy sound. I was a little late, and I did,t have the time...

Hi guys, maybe you can help me, my thumb seems to distort when I play hard on the strings... now I know this can usually be fixed by adjusting the pickup hight or using the little adjustment on the preamp, but I have done both of those already, and yes, it fixed the problem, but I had to turn...

it's me again. I still looking a preamp for my passive bartolini soapbar PU, I am thinking to modify my EMG active electronics to passive, is there any body know how to do it? I know the balance pot should be change to 250K, how about the vol pot?? or I found my old MEC circuit which...

can someone please help elucidate for me the fine points of electronics? i always, for example, thought a preamp was a separate piece that attached to the battery to modify sound with active pickups...the more i look for good preamps, the more it looks like what companies describe as...

Ok so with my new Corvette i was thinking of adding a pre-amp i trawled through the forum and found the info i was looking for and have decided if i'm gonna do this i'm gonna get a aguilar OBP-2. Its just because after playing my $$ i've fallen in love with a 2 band eq and how i can dial in the...

I have a SS2 with the stock MEC pickups and preamp. the control layout is as follows: -18volts -bass -mids -treble -stacked knob with volume, pickup pan control, and pull for slap Today I got a pre-wired Seymour Duncan STC3a from a guy on talkbass. The layout is slightly different from...

As usual I've been drooling over the Warwicks on ebay where there is an 2001 SS1 listed in America. Boy its a beauty! The seller is showing a picture of the electronics bay which got my attention as its completely different to mine ( SS1 2000). First my bass has two batteries (9v) and a larger...

In the topic on what mods you did on your Wick I read some people swapped the standard pramp for a Aguilar. Can someone give a little review on what changed in your bass' sound after the transformation?

which of these features do you think would contribute the most to a second hand thumb BO? a three band mec preamp or a wenge neck... cheers

Hi Warwickers, I was wondering if any of you use a BMAX (not BMAX-t) made by BBE as a preamp. I'd like to hear your opinions about it especially with Warwicks. Thanks a million!

In the past 3 months I've gone from using my amp daily to now almost never. I've been plugging into the Mac and playing desktop style using my Sansamp Bass DI as a preamp for GarageBand. The Sansamp has that nice fat tone but it's loud as hell and my vette sounds pretty thin without some kind of...

Hey fellow warwickers... I have a very low output on my Thumb Bolt-On 6 compared to my other basses. I've raised the pickups, changed strings/batteries and everything you could think of. I really love the sound that comes out but it clips my amp because i have to turn up all the way to cut...

The preamp in my 90 thumb has gotten weak in the last few days, to the point where the passive mode is two times louder. A few questions. What would cause this? Bad valume/blend pot? Preamp going out? I replaced the battery wires and clip, stereo jack, and all connections are good. And...

Which Aguilar Pre-Amp Model Do I Need To Replace The MEC Pre-Amp In My 2005 Corvette Jazzman 5?

I want to exchange the stock onboard preamp in my Fna jazzman 5 to the aguilar obp3-18 volt. My question is, Do I have to order the pots as well or can I use the ones I have? Does anyone know if this is change is possible?

I've finally taken delivery of my brand new, and eagerly awaited, corvette $$. Pluged it in and all i get are horrible raspy synth sounds. If i pull the volume knob up to bypass the pre-amp it sounds great. Since it sounds fine with the pre-amp bypassed that rules out any problems with my...

I got a 97 Thumb NT, with MEC pups and I want to keep them. But as I need more low, as a folk suggested in other topic, I'll change my preamp. And here comes another question: Aguilar or Bartolini? I'm between OBP-1 and NTMB. I've read a bunch of things, like: Barts are darker, Aguies has...
