Wondering if anyone makes one of these, or if anyone on here has modded an existing 3 band preamp to fit this configuration.
I'm not sure it's even possible.
I have a 1-pickup bass I'm thinking about slapping a three-band preamp in, but it only has two controls and I'm not certain I want to drill a third one.

My arse let's go. They're filming midgets. | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: 相模原,Japan | | | you could wire up an opb3 without a volume, only eq controls. maybe put a push pull on the mid pot for a kill switch?
other than that, I think you may have to ask someone like ACG, John East, or Carey Nordstrand if they can do you a custom job.

I never considered simply leaving out the master volume. I suppose it's not really necessary.
I actually have an OBP-3 in another bass that I had planned on replacing with a Glockenklang.
But the OBP-3 might have a new home in this one-pickup bass.
Otherwise I could always just drill a third hole.

P-Retro would be sweet...
Would it work in an Ibanez SRX400 I wonder?
Preamp is more than I paid for the bass...hahah
I plan on getting a custom made neck for this bass anyway.
Really the only thing I like about this bass is the color (martini olive green sparkle.. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else)

I was going to have a custom, solid-birdseye maple neck w/ abalone dot inlays made for it too....
Is this like putting an expensive stereo, fancy rims and hydraulics on a Ford Pinto? Pretty much...... Pimp my Ibby!

If you just want one pickup into a preamp with a stacked bass/treble pot and a stacked mid/mid frequency pot, you can do that with most any non-PCB mounted preamp. |
