Dandelion Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I can't find anything on the Internet.. It is installed on a bass I have aquired.. Any technical info welcomed. Sounds nice.. What I do know is that the preamp the wiring and the pots were installed by Bernie Goodfellow. Edited June 7, 2019 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treb Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Must be an older item, check the URL: www.ebs.bass.se Their current URL is: ebssweden.com Prototype perhaps? Why not ask EBS support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Speak to Bernie. He is very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) They were made by EBS for Neuser, about ten to fifteen years ago. They were never sold commercially. That said, some people with good EBS connections were able to get their hands on them so you do see them every now and again. If I remember correctly they came in 2 (and maybe also 3 band), had a hi cut/mid-boost setting and a normal setting and were very transparent. Glock like. No more info than that I am afraid.

EBS_freak Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) HazBeen pretty much summed it up. Bernie got them through to the UK when he was distributing for EBS. They were never sold to the consumer as such - but Bernie would supply them if people asked or when people came into his shop looking for something new in the EQ department. He tended to put them in the KSd basses that he was also distributing because the stock preamp in those was pretty naff in comparison. In the UK, if you find one in your bass, the chances is that it's come from Bernie... or you've bought one of my old basses 😛 I believe Chris Larkin (RIP) used to put these pres n his basses too. I think he got them direct from EBS, not via the Goodfellow route. They are treble and bass with a pan and volume and a switch for the mid bump/mid scoop Marcus thing. I've had a look at the manual posted above - and yup, that covers it off pretty comprehensively. Talking of Marcus, this pre in a jazz gives you Marcus in spades. It's a very active sounding pre, certainly not subtle! Great sounding pre though - I remember @stingrayPete1977's Squier J bass project bass sounding amazing once it's electronics had been gutted and replaced with one of these EBS pres and a set of original J bass pickups from Bartolini. Just out of interest @Dandelion, what bass is in the picture above? I may know the history of it. Looks a bit Statusy?

Hellzero Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 A bit late, but it's also found in Leduc basses under the name EL-5 or EL-10 (twin preamp). I also PM'ed you. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
