far0n Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Right then, as expected.... 'cos I've had one before.... the G-String is weak as piss, so what should I do to rectify this ? Is it purely a pickup problem or preamp problem. Was thinking about maybe adding a Delano Pickup with a nice Agular preamp. All opinions welcome ! Quote
Randy_Marsh Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 £150?! Jammy bastard... I'd go Nordstrand and J-East 2 EQ MM pre-amp. Quote
dc2009 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 £150? Did you mug someone of it then give them that just because you felt a little sorry? Great price, no idea on the solution though, sorry! Quote
waynepunkdude Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Not possible, I'll do you a favour and give you what you paid back for it. Quote
far0n Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 I'd certainly read a few rave reviews about the Nordstrand MM4.2 I think it is. Just curious but why the J-East preamp ?? Also read one or two things about getting the new pickup wired in series instead. Anyone care to comment ? ta muchly. Here's the beast, granted with a non standard scratchplate. But the originaly scratchplates were ridiculous anyway. Quote
charic Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Ok so dingwall pickups wont be available but what about a glockenlang preamp? Quote
Randy_Marsh Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Read a review of that pairing by someone on here, who compared it with a 70's Pre MM Stingray and said it came very close. Quote

I personally prefer Seymour Duncan SMB4A. I'd wire in parallel for Stingray type of sound. Series is good, higher output, but it's just not a Stingray sound. John East preamp, for me, is preferable because although it pretty much models the original 2EQ, it sounds a bit more "tight" to me, and it adds a mids module with a centre frequency sweep control, that I use extensively (I have a 2EQ Stingray where I put the John East and it transformed the bass from something I really liked into a beast I adore). SUB4 at OLP prices? I hate you! Quote
Musicman20 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I told the guy who was selling that (a personal friend) that he should have sold it for much more. Bargain. Quote
