pandathe3 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 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 -Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 A lot of people seem to have been very happy keeping the MusicMan preamps and going for the Nordstrand replacement pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandathe3 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
