TheGreek Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Bit of a numpty question really - I'm thinking of upgrading some pick ups - seen some nice stuff here and on eBay but if I'm going to use a preamp are only some pick ups suitable or can any p/up be used with a Preamp.. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstrike Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 AFAIK, all you need to do is get different pots for the volume/blend controls to use active pickups with a pre-amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Any passive pickups will do the trick as long as they're decent sounding to begin with. The preamp will generally come with the pots but if it doesn;t then it will specify what value you'll need. Most active basses come with passive pickups and a preamp. Pickups like EMGs are active Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
