SUB bass preamps??

[pandathe3]

How do they go? I've heard issues of noise about them a few times.

In what aspects are they similar to the Stingray preamp?

I'm thinking of replacing it for a East preamp, which is based on the pre EB stingrays, but with Johns extra something

Money wise, SUB/Pre/PUP, it'd work out about the same as buying a New Sterling Ball RAY bass. But i'm thinking the SUB with an East pre would sound better, or closer to a real Stingray.

Just looking for opinions really Cheers

A lot of people seem to have been very happy keeping the MusicMan preamps and going for the Nordstrand replacement pickups.

I've heard alot of good things about the Nordstrands. The Lane Poor (Which flea had on his punk modulus) and barts are also highly recommended.

But i've already got my heart set on the PUP: [url="http://www.wdmusic.com/musicman_bass_pickup.html"]http://www.wdmusic.com/musicman_bass_pickup.html[/url]

At only £50 also its a beast. Very very good sound.

I think i'll have to buy my own customized East pre. John said that he can put the Series/Parallel switch on the master Vol pot and also put a Bright switch like the sabres, but with more of a boost so it DOES make a difference. Hes such a nice and helpful guy, makes some quality pres also.
