    Reverse engineering vintage Haz Labs pre

    Yes, of course - is there any other option :laugh: Enjoying it immensely Lonnie and it has really beefed up my bass' sound. The Microtubes Infinity is really nice sounding unit but pushing it with the HL-1 it's become great. Thanks again.

    WE - Thanks for the tip about the screw coming into contact with the PCB, I'll watch out for that. Also, I needed to tighten a couple of handle philips screws and know exactly what you mean about Allen head screws being a lot more accessable!

    Fender Masterbuilt

    I have this Jason Smith example and it plays and sounds phenomenal. Apparently he is a bass player himself so that can't be bad!
