rmshaw37 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 hey there bass chatters! basically i've never found a 5 string bass that i'm truely happy with, i play a gene simmons punisher and its exactly right for me - if it came in a 5 string version then i would get it! but they dont so i've tried warwick infinity stingray bongo precision jazz and currently on an overwater pregress 3 deluxe the overwater is about as close to happy as i've ever been with a 5 stringer, but its still not right the punisher has a 'normal' placement of a precision pickup but a hot EMG pup in it! now i tried out a schecter omen extreme 5 the other day at a shop in nottingham and acoustically it played awesomely and sounding amazing (being basically made of the same woods - mahogany body and maple/mahogany neck - as the punisher, just a bolt on neck) - BUT plugged it in and it sounded like a big pile of turd! my question is this - would fitting an EMG active pup (they do the precision in a soapbar size) and taking out the eq make it sound similar to my punisher? (which did have a tone pot that i didnt use, so out it came!) bit long winded but now you know what i'm aiming for, or suggestions and trades on the overwater for an ampeg 810 in good nick plus cash lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
