alembic1989 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've owned my "Harley" for quite a few years now, and have preferred it to many other very expensive boutique 6 ears that I've owned..( they've all gone now ..but the Harley remains). My question is....does anybody know what pick ups they use.....and what preamp? It's just that all the sounds are useable..and the preamp sounds great too.Does anybody know???

chrismuzz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 No idea... But I used to own a Shine SB26 which I think is identical... I have to say I loved that bass too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I have a Shine SB26. I removed the pickups to swap them for different ones. I just checked the original pickups, and can only tell you that there are no identifying marks on the pickups, front side, or underneath. BTW: When I swapped the humbuckers for blade single coils, the sound didn't change all that much. Except that I can now get the blade magnets much closer to the strings with extra grunt due to that. So much grunt that with the pickups proper close I can't use all of the bass boost at full volume or the preamp distorts. But, the pickup swap suggests to me that the sound of the SB26 is more due to the wooden bits of the bass and the preamp, than the pickups. Not quite sure that this is a useful post in any way, but this is the internet... Edited March 30, 2014 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
