Paul S Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have tried them on a SGC Nanyo Bass Collection and also a Fender Precision Lyte that came with duff electrics. The Precision Lyte now has a J east preamp in it, as I couldn't get the sound I wanted out of the Artec one. I sold the SGC Nanyo because I couldn't get the sound I wanted out of it with or without the Artec preamp. I believe, in short, that you get what you pay for.

garythebass Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have one in my Status Energy at the moment. Works pretty well, really. Doesn't colour the tone, cut/boost on mine is at 100hz and 4kz I think, but i have mine set flat as that sounds best to my ear. Not much noise, good battery life. Strikes me as a great value budget unit as long as you like the inherent sound of your instrument. Having said that, I'm replacing it with an OBP1 because I don't want it to sound good, I want it to sound incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
