Preamp question: what Bart rig was Keith using in 2007?

I ask because I may be buying a Bartolini rig removed from a 2007 SKB-3006, whose owner replaced it with a Nordie. Many thanks in advance.

The Bart preamp has been the same for almost 20 years now: NTMB 3-band, push/pull on the mids allow you to cut/boost two different frequencies (400, 800), trim pot in cavity is for adjusting the gain on the preamp.

Let me know if there's anything else we can help you with!

Thanks, Gard! The early 3005 I had years ago had a two-band preamp, so I knew he had switched, but was unsure what the new setup was. Thanks for the info.

The only switch made was that the Bart 3-band, formerly optional, became standard. Quite a few of the older Roscoe's still had then optional Bart 3-Band.

Silly question (from me?!?). Not sure why (my memory...), but I had the impression the mids were selectable @ 250hz & 800hz. Gard, could I trouble you to confirm the 400hz lower frequency?

Mea culpa!

Yes, I was typing faster than thinking (...that NEVER happens! )...250 is correct, thanks Jerry!

Thanks for the clarification, Gard - I hope I wasn't being a pest. I think the reason I was confused is that I very, very....very rarely ever touch the mids. "Flat & centered" on a Roscoe just sounds so right to my ears. FWIW... the Bart NTMB pre is my absolute all-time favorite. It just seems to play nicely with so many different pickups...and woods.
