tonejunky Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well im hoping i encounter someone that has had this similiar situation. I bought a bartolini 3band EQ and two volume knob preamp to replace a shotty one in my schecter bass. The bass has a MM duncan design bridge humbucker, and a jazz neck p/u. So heres the problem...I got the preamp installed in series,and took back to shop to make sure it was in phase because the bridge p/u sounds like the mids are scooped out which is not my desire. the neck p/u sounds full and good. Also the old setup had a on/on toggle that switched the bridge p/u tone from rock to funk, but not anymore. Also the guy who worked on it said id be better off with a bartolini replacement, but im not sure if he's just trying to sell me something that might not change the FUNK! ANY SUGGESTION?!!

bass_ferret Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sounds like they did not do a proper job but then the toggle was probably a series/parallel switch and you told them to wire it in series. You should have had the pre wired in from the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonejunky Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 well im fully confident they did it right, and last night i got curious and switched the MM p/u to parallel and the sound still had that lack of midrange umph. So now i think its just a question of what bart MM is good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
