thanks !

Hey, I changed the pickups in my thum-bo to bartolini Classic bass series(CBJD). I also swapped the preamp for an audere 4 band with z-switch. I would highly recommend that you perform this swap. It removed some of the harshness that I had with the MEC preamp and pickups. Of course, it added more punch and growl. Thats what we buy warwicks for right? haha

awesome!!! thanks!!
When you changed the preamp did you end up with the same Knob configuration? (2 stacked and one not stacked) or did you have to cut holes for extra knobs? I am assuimg that you did for the Switch.
