[/font][/color] Hello Kev! I think you know who it is.. Why am I surprised to see the AW-3 on his board?.. Tbh I'm thinking about an original EHX Doctor-q for my board (NOT a nano clone).. The Radial Bassbone looks like a really interesting and versatile bit of kit.. for a pre-amp anyway!! Kev? If you have a board - can we see a 2013 update!! cheers..

Bump

This sound clip should show the distortion, first half of the clip with pickups where they should be, second with it screwed right into the body. http://soundcloud.com/thumbbassgk/streamer-neck-pup-alteration-2/s-KJ4ZJ?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=mshare&utm_medium=email&utm_content=http://soundcloud.com/thumbbassgk/streamer-neck-pup-alteration-2/s-KJ4ZJ

Bump Any further suggestions on this? I'm not getting any response out of local luthiers i am trying to contact... Sadly i don't have access to any of the equipment to test the preamp/pickups and not really willing to invest.

Never had any truly awful basses i don't think, other that an old 70's P bass i had a few years ago, made of plywood and had a warped neck, terrible. I also briefly had a Status Energy bass i wasn't at all fond of, although i think that was more personal preference. Wooden neck, very flat shape and wasn't a pleasure at all to play for me. Pickups sound very thin too.

Find yourself an old Warwick Streamer SS1, i hear the new 2013 models have gone skinny too

I use a booster in front of the BB and this pushes it in a v similar way to using the boost function on the bassdrive... just back from practise, and changed my board up a bit, as I'm using a P now instead of a jazz... v happy with this little setup I prefer how my grey stache sounded with the jazz, but using the precision, the TFR sounds a bit better to me - meaty as hell [/quote] Love this! Have you ever owned a Tall Font muff? If so, in reality, how does it compare? Very keen and sound samples sound good but somehow the clones I have tried have always missed something

I would like an EQ on the B3K, but i have never found myself needing it and, on the contrary, i always find a blend knob more useful, solo'd and in a mix. A more natural way of retaining low end when needed IMO

Crap photo but here is my pair [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/SAM_2554_zpscd8265f4.jpg[/IMG]

Nothing scratchy about it I'm afraid, had a luthier look at it today ( Peter Alan, great chap who gave some sound advice) and it is very much a crack, probably caused by an over tightening of the truss rod, but the crack has been filled at some point and iv been told that all will remain okay providing I don't go messing with the truss rod unecessarily or try and play death metal with inch thick strings! The bass is setup nice with low action and plays really well, it's otherwise a stunning example

It's the SS1 with the crack in the neck, bought off here last week

But there must be a problem then considering it is a stock setup? I think I will have it looked at by a professional, needs the neck looking at anyway.
