Owen Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I recently bought a Bolin NS. I LOVE the piezo pick up. It has a Fishman internal pre that Fishman will only sell me if I am a bass manufacturer. The Bolin is very nice indeed, but not nice enough to sell 2 other basses to pay for it so it is going ( [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7971"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7971[/url] ), however I want to install a piezo system in another bass. Does anyone have a lead on where I might find a Fishman pre like the Bolin one (5 individual trim pots on a board.) I used to have a Bongo with Piezos. It was underwhelming, but the Bolin Piezo sound is outstanding. TIA If you see this on different bass boards, forgive me but I'm casting my net as widely as poss.

BassBod Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Maybe talk to Mr East? I recall he can make some pretty nifty piezo buffer/mixers - probably better than Fishman?? I bypassed the Fishman pre on an acoustic, and used an external LR Baggs (para DI). Sounded a lot better. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 I will probably have a word with Mr East, but I'm looking for the Fishman because this one actually does what it says on the tin and I figured if it works, don't fix it.
