Chopthebass Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Mayones craftsmanship is the best out there. Seriously. My Jabba is flawless, super nice to play, but sounded horrible. I don’t know if it was the Delano’s or Mayos own 3 band preamp. The blend was more like a 3 way switch (like most preamps) and the passive tone did nothing until the last 2mm of knob travel. And then it sounded weirdly honky. The chosen bass mid and treble frequencies were terrible. The bass just wasn’t getting played. So the pickups and preamp were removed and I installed Bartolini B-Axis pickups and East Uni Pre. The difference is staggering. It sounds great with any setting. And this is the first preamp where the blend does just that. Those Barts are seriously nice! 2 Quote
HazBeen Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 The B-Axis are excellent, good choice. Quote
Ian McFly Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Aren’t the pickups the wrong way around? Quote
LukeFRC Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 East uni pre is amazing and just so good. Here’s one I fitted in one of my basses recently Quote
Graham Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I really like the look of of those B-Axis pickups, the clips I've heard sound great Quote
