Stingray Preamp in a J-Bass???

KAOSBass · #1 06-03-2008, 03:59 AM

I've got a "frankenstein" J-Bass I built, it currently has EMGs in it, and a friend of mine gave me a Stingray 3-band preamp.

Can I wire these up to it without any issues? has anyone tried this?

help, please?

the stingray only has one pickup, so that pre doesnt have a pickup blend pot

I'm gonna add a 3-way switch.....no problem there.

I'm just not sure if the EMGs will be compatable though.

i think you just need to slit wire in the emgs to the battery, not exactly sure on wich wires go where though.

As long as you have a 25K volume pot and wire the emg's to the battery it will work fine.

emg's has very hi output while MM pickup is midoutput by itself, so you might face distiortions
