seanobrien Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi there, just wondering if anyone has tried the east btb 01 mid control. I have a jazz bass with a 2 band eq, miss the mids so thinking of installing this mid control. Also would it be easy to install? Many thanks for any info on this.

ikay Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think you mean the Mid Sweep 01 - https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/single-stack-modules/mid-sweep-01.html I have one of these as part of an SPM-02 modular preamp. Very usable mid control, particularly with the variable frequency sweep. Not sure how easily it would fit with your existing 2-band but John is usually very helpful with advice. If you're thinking of getting one I'd give him a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanobrien Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 That's the one. Thanks for that Ikay. Will give John a call and see what he says. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I've got one that I've been meaning to install in a 2 band EQ bass. I have tested it without being fitted in the cavity and have to say it was really impressive. (The bass in question does not feature East electronics and it behaved very well).

bloke_zero Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 His stuff is generally made to be easy. Probably solder free screw in. I put one of his mm pre’s in and it was just a matter of screwing in the right wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The Mid Sweep info sheet is here - http://www.east-uk.com/pdf/midsweep02.pdf You'll need to tap a 9v feed from your existing preamp board (or battery connector). I'm not sure if it's best positioned before or after your existing pre, but it has simple screw connections for the wiring so easy enough to try both and see what works best. Either wire the pickups directly to the Mid Sweep and the output of the Mid Sweep to the input of your existing pre or vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
