mic mac moe Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 So, I picked up this vester clipper recently, in bright red gloss. I had a fretless one a few years ago and loved it. (of course I sold it!! I always do!!) This one is a fretted model, sounds killer, almost jazz style fizzy gurgle. The thing is, the on board electronics are a bit past their best and I want to replace. It's a vol/vol/tone arrangement but is battery powered. Does anyone know of a good replacement?

BassApprentice Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Nice! I have a Tanglewood Funkmaster which looks *very* like a Warwick Streamer. I'm sure Kiogon will be along shortly and he will hopefully be able to help you out. If not I have an EMG-BQC preamp that I don't have any use for, might involve a few extra pots though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc40hz Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Dropping EMGS in? I've recently acquired one of these - very pleasantly surprised. Plays and sounds great and looks gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this yours? Stacked knobs et al? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 John East gear is great. Something like his J Tone would be a good option at £150, but check with him about the suitablility of the knobs going through body rather than onto a bell plate. John is mega helpful as well as being a brilliant engineer. https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/j-retro/j-tone101.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
