Warwick Streamer help

irock · #1 02-15-2010, 09:19 AM

I need help
I have a 4 string Warwick Streamer from 1989
It originally had EMG pickups PJ style and their peramp.
The preamp blew / went on it so it needed to be replaced.
I'm not a fan of EMGs - too loud
So I replaced them with Bartonis and a Aguliar OBP1 preamp.
Problem is the bass would always hiss. I took it to 2 different repair guys and they couldn't resolve the hissing problem. So I took out the preamp and its now passive bass
Here are my questions.
Should the Agulair/bartolini combonation work?? Are the compatable or not??
I am willing to buy new pickups and/or preamp. Any suggestions??
I am also not a fan of MEC pickups
This is my main bass so i play it most of my gigs.
I play all styles, Rock, blues, funk, jazz. Finger or slap, no pick. So I need a well rounded bass with different sound options.

Of course they are. A lot of people use that combo...

Would you prefer to resolve your current problem or spend money on something else?

Is the bass shielded properly?

And Sorry bassmanjla I don't want to sell it.

If you bought it bassmanjla what pickup/preamp config would you put in it

bartolini's with the MEC controller.

alternatively, you know for a fact that the bartolini preamps will work.
