Hi all, I am looking at upgrading my Yamaha BBG5 with pickups and an EQ. there are lots and lots of makers that I could buy from, but I am looking at a company that sells a pickup & EQ package. A box with the whole enchilada. Does such a company exist? Thanks, as ever, my brethren

Y'know, I always thought EMGs were the sole domain of "metal" bass players - hence me staying away (only cos I am not a metal bass player, not cos I don't enjoy metal)... but after discovering that one Victor Wooten and one Henrik Linder play EMGs, I have looked a little more closely... that is a great reminder to check them out! Now... in the UK (I have only been 'here' for a year), where is the best place to get EMGs? Thanks @gary mac

Hello all here in BC Land... A question, if I may... so I have a 90s BBG5 which I got for gigs where my '96 TRB6 may be a tad overkill, and while I love how it feels, plays and looks... I can't help feel that the pickups are somewhat lacking - ok, a lot lacking. While I am a massive fan of Bartolini gear (I replaced the stock pups in the TRB), I wouldn't mind checking out some other, perhaps less expensive options... really, just something I can solder in and not have to worry too much about... Any suggestions as to what I might consider would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance...

".. can you tell us about this? > TC Electronic Flashback Delay (always on).. and we can also see you have TonePrint © selected:- 😎" Easy as pie... I use the delay as a means to "fatten" my sound, almost like a reverb... very slight delay and very subtle, but it's definitely there. I started years ago with a chorus, then later a reverb, then after discovering Janek Gwizdala, I switched to delay - and I use his TonePrint, the Sausage & Beer print . I found that the bass was a little "dead" to my ears, hence starting to play with alternate ways to beef it up - I guess that came from listening to a ton of fusion and hearing what I believed was a chorusy sound and loving it BTW - I use the Nathan East print for my chorus 😎

Just bought a KIT BB Preamp Clone from Sean and couldn't be happier. Sean was a gent in taking it off the market while waiting for my payday. What a guy!!! Huge props mate

Not the neatest, not the flashiest, but I think I'm about done for now... I've gone from a huge board, through dozens of iterations, and this is where I am, for what I need... Well... for now 🤣 Path: Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter > Boss TU-2 Tuner > TC Electronic Nether Octaver > K.I.T. BB Clone Drive > TC Electronic Corona Chorus > TC Electronic Flashback Delay (always on) > MXR M81 Preamp 9always on)
