Delberthot Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm looking to do something a bit different with my Epi Blackbird so have decided to have a single pickup at the bridge, blank off the neck pickup route and use the space to route through the back for a battery box and to contain the pre amp bit as well. I'm looking for something that has active bass/treble controls but most of the preamps I've seen have small PCBs attached to at least one of the pots. Space is limited in the control cavity of the bass so I need something that uses standard or mini sized pots but still with a long enough shaft to allow them to be rear mounted. I'm not planning on spending a lot on this so the cheaper the better Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 build one of the musicman/saber preamps yourself- buy whatever pots you want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'll happily wire passive basses up all day long but I don't feel confident enough to tackle one of these. Is anyone selling these yet on the forum? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 MIght give it a try. Is there somewhere online that sells a bag of the bits you need or do you have to source each bit separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
