OldSchoolFlats Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Anybody know how to find an OEM replacement preamp for the Sire P7 Gen 2 5-string? The pots don't seem very sturdy, and I would rather stick with the standard parts, The bass sounds fine, but the nut on the pots strips easily, and just replacing the whole preamp module seems like the easiest fix. I emailed Sire, but am not "holding my breath". Edited June 19, 2021 by OldSchoolFlats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 My tupporth.. if the pot threads are stripping, I'd be more inclined to replace the pots on the existing preamp. Obviously you have to find the right values, and if they're soldered straight into the pcb you need the right pin spacing. Once that's sorted the soldering is pretty easy as long as you or someone you know can solder! If you get a replacement from Sire the same thing will probably happen again. Alternatively, get a better pre (Marketplace on here produces some results from time to time!) with the right number of pots/switches. You'll most likely find an improvement in tone this way.

gary mac Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Sire weren't willing to supply parts to me for a customer's Marcus Miller that I'm attempting to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
