timhiggins Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I got it right but I'm not sure I would have if I didn't have a v7 already...I presume Scott played the v7 passive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I got it right and I don't own one. I just assumed the sire would have a slightly fatter sound and was correct! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'm really starting to thing that next years purchase might be a natural maple fingerboard v7 fretless. My only reservation is the busy control lay out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I know what you mean about the controls, but for me it would probably just be a set & forget scenario. So I can have an active (EQ'd) tone and a passive tone at the flick of a switch Edited June 9, 2017 by CameronJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timhiggins Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I have to confess my battery's ran out ages ago and i have used it live and recorded with it passive ever since i think i prefer the passive tone t.b.h. ... dont be daunted by the pre amp though its much more straight forward than you would expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood it as having a passive, vol/tone/pan set of knobs and an actlve, treble/mid/midsweep/bass set, right next to each other on the same bell plate... worked for me!

Rich Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 My only problem with the preamp is the sheer amount of cut/boost (specifically boost) on the bass control. The tiniest little movement plays havoc with your tone, there's far too much available. I'm half tempted to disconnect the pot and just solder a fixed resistor of the right value in its place. Apart from that, I love everything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
