My goto bass is a Westone Thunder 1A, The original preamp in it is poor in my opinion. So have been looking to change to something else like one of the Aguilar preamps. Does anyone have experience of these or could recommend something else? While here what about pickups, this is essentially a P-bass?

Thanks for your comments everyone, you've cured my itch to get an acoustic. Now hollow bodies... That Spector looks lovely.

Thanks guys, I agree unplugged is a non-starter. Everything gets PA'd. Was more concerned with decent tone.

Thinking of investing in an acoustic bass guitar as I play in a band with 2 acoustic guitars, accordion and Cajon. Feel like I'm not quite keeping up appearances. The ones I've tried in the past seemed tonally weak. Any recommendations? Don't want to spend a lot.

Bought Roland active bass cabinet from Brian, all good. Excellent comms

I have 2 Thunder 1s, an active and a very highly customised passive. Mods include pup covers machined from solid brass, etched brass truss rod cover, gold coloured hardware everywhere, de-fretted, veneered and multiple staining to front and back. Do you guys know there is dedicated Westone forum? See [url="http://forum.westoneguitars.net/"]http://forum.westoneguitars.net/[/url]

Been looking at comments on here for a while so thought Id signup. Play a couple of Westone Thunders one of which Ive converted to fretless. Have a number of amps but the best is an EBS combo, its light sounds great and it can pump it out.
