Hello all, I was sent a link to this post in hopes of clearing up a few things First off, the germanium version (blue LED) is more mid-rangy than the Sil version. Both Paul (my business partner "pro" bass player) and i prefer the Sil version on a bass because it has more low end and it cam be pretty "in your face" if you want it to be. Some prefer the smoother "vintage" sound of the germanium...but there is some bass loss in this option. Not to mention, Maestros design wasnt perfect. And we wanted to be as close to a real Brassmaster as we could get. The original Brassmaster doesnt allow super low frequencies to pass We have a silverburst edition that has a mod to the circuit to allow more low end to pass. It's pretty subtle (although i've been told it makes a difference) Whether we make this permanent i dont know....we really want to keep it as close to the original as possible. Now as far as actives go, i personally dont have an active bass (although i'm getting one maybe this week) so i've never tested it. Our good friend at Bassexchange informed us that it sounds very good with an active bass. On paper here is what it SHOULD do....it should take the range of the sens knob down a bit so if you like it in the 12:00 position turn it down to maybe the 9:00. Theres a "sweet spot" in this knob...an active should make the sweet spot smaller in range If you guys have any questions feel free to contact me at [email protected] i'm usually pretty good about replying quickly I'll check back on this thread too thanks Josh Malekko
