Owen Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have an NS5. It does what it does in the way I want it. I have a friend who is looking for something similar. Could someone clue me up about the preamp situation in the cheaper NS ranges? Do they need an external preamp for righteous tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydye Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I hav an nxt4 and it has a passive pickup so either needs an active di box or a preamp...I hav a Fishman platinum pro bass and the combination is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 My NS has a preamp, however I have made piezo pickups (using cheapo piezo elements from maplin for under a quid) for guitar, banjo & ukulele that have worked very well with a behringer ADI-21 pedal as a preamp. The ADI used to sweeten the tone of the Dean Pace bass I used to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
