suggest a preamp (Modulus)

SixString · #1 03-20-2007, 05:10 PM

I'm looking to replace the on board preamp on my modulus 5 string flea (lane poor p/ups) and i'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions? It has 4 knobs dunno if that has any effect on which preamp.

Lane Poor preamp!!! You can ask moondoggy about his ibanez 6 with Lane Poor pickups and preamp.

I'm not even sure whats in it now. How could i even get a lane poor preamp only at ebay i guess?

Heres a pic if anyone could tell me what kind of preamp i have. I don't see any markings

its a Year 2000 flea though serial 000517.

I actually have one left that was never installed...

FS/FT Lane Poor 2x1AC preamp for 2 matched or unmatched pickups

the price is actually $225 though

It looks like a bartolini preamp on the left but i have never seen one with 2 parts. Also it should say bartolini on the side

Baryonyx · #7 03-20-2007, 05:25 PM

Bartolini?

SixString · #8 03-20-2007, 05:36 PM

Yeah it was totally coverd by wires but it does say Bartolini. Where can i find more info on the lane poor preamp? I was also thinking aguilar are they any good?

WarriorJoe7 · #9 03-20-2007, 05:49 PM

yes the aguilar is very good.

lane poor info here... http://www.lanepoor.net/wiki/index.p...s:Preamp:2x1AC

This says it is designed for two pickups? The flea only has 1 pickup will it still work for one pickup?

WarriorJoe7 · #11 03-20-2007, 06:05 PM

yes I have the diagrams it will work for one pickup. you just turn the trimpot for the other one the whole way down.

It is a great preamp for matching 2 pickups with different outputs. I have one installed with lane poor pickups too.

The lane poor buffer w/ passive tone is very cool, but so is an aguilar with active EQ.

SixString · #13 03-20-2007, 06:24 PM

I'm leaning more to the Aguilar don't know which one to get though ha

Jim Carr · #14 03-20-2007, 06:26 PM

Aguilar OBP-3 Bass Preamp!!! There are several variants, IIRC!

Kills with Nordy FatStacks on my Valenti!!!!!

WarriorJoe7 · #15 03-20-2007, 06:34 PM

well you cant go wrong with either one

Zooberwerx · #16 03-20-2007, 06:52 PM

Rip the guts out and go passive, I say. Okay, how 'bout this?:

Check the Audere website. I've heard nothing but great reviews. They also offer a gazillion control / EQ options to fit just about any bass.

I've got the bart in mine with the LP pup and love it, what sound are you going for? or you just want a change.

richnota · #18 03-20-2007, 08:07 PM

Im absolutely amazed by my East preamp.

It totally changed the dynamics of my bass. As a reference solo bassist Steve Lawson uses a lane poor/east combo with wonderful results.

SixString · #19 03-20-2007, 09:35 PM

Not that i'm unhappy with the Bart just looking for something different to spice things up :-P i recently sold some things on ebay now i have a list of thins i wanna get with the money : 2x12 and a 1x15 cab, 3 Space Rack, Rack tuner, and last the pre amp so wanted to know what all you TBers thought of some pre amps. I think on matter what i get im going to have to take it to a shop and have it put in for me ill mess it up trying to do it myself. Thanks for the ideas so far!!

What top wood is that, coco-bolo? Beautiful, when I one-day own a Mod, it'll have that top
