Quick question reguarding the Am Deluxe P. Anyone know what preamp is used in these 18 volt systems? It's my first active bass, and all I know is it sounds killer. Thanks.

| | | | Kind of a side issue but does the Amer Deluxe have a passive mode, just in case the batteries die? I have a feeling that it is active only, similar to MM. |

hi!
I just bought an used Am.Pbass Deluxe , with 18v preamp but the Tone (mid boost/cut) pot seems to be dead. And itīs not "hard" like the other ones.
Any sugestions ? just change the pot or maybe preamp problem?
thanks!!
