Aeros and Audere in a DJ4

Hey,

Is anyone using or tried an Audere preamp with Aero pups in a Lakland DJ4? Your opinion would be most welcome. Thanks!

I would like to know also. I am using the same combination and there was some concerns that Aeros work better passive: see quote below from fellow TBer bassclef112
"Regarding them, I just wanted to mention a conversation I had with Larry Pollack back in 2003 when I bought a set of J Type I's direct. I told him I was going to use them with a J-Retro and he actually discouraged me from doing it. He told me that they were designed to sound best as passive pickups, no preamp and he was quite clear in his description of added impedances, no true bypass etc.
Well, I went ahead and used them with the pre anyway and they sounded....okay. I never really got behind the way they came across. So I took out the pre and never looked back. Those pickups just blossomed into what they were obviously meant to be and i wouldn't have them any other way"
