Greetings everybody, I have a SR5BBLTD which I love! Unfortunately, the neck pickup (Nordstrand Big Single) seems to be dead, so I bought a replacement pickup. Going through this thread I noticed that there have been issues with the preamps in the past aswell so I‘m whondering if it would be...

Hi everybody, looking to go fretless soon, got an eye on a used Fender 60s Jazz Bass fretless MIJ from 2014/2015. Unfortunately, I couldn't find much information about it because it seems to be discontinued and when it was avaliable it was Japan only. Anybody ever played one of those and can...

Thanks, I guess that might be it, it'll probably just be an older model. Same with the mid frequency switch, thanks! On the Ibanez page for the 1805 the say the following: I guess this might also refer to the newer models where they probably redesigned the circuit for that. After all, the...

Hi everybody, I recently bought an Ibanez SR 1805 Premium bass which I absolutely love! Since I bought it in used condition and didn't have the chance to try before buying, I noticed that the electronics aren't working as they are supposed to and I'm whondering what might be the issue. According...

That would be awesome! I think I'm going to make it next week, should be done very quick. When it's done I'm gonna share the results.

So if I get you right I should build the fdeck quick'n'dirty preamp? You are right about the point that I don'twant to invest that much money regarding the price I paid for it. Since I got it I made some minor modifications discussed in one of the countless modthreads and the sound did get...

Yeah, I think I'm going to think about that again, I guess it's not only about bad grounding, you should see the electronics :D You mentioned simpler preamps, what would you suggest? Best thing for me would be a Diy-preamp circuit that I can modify if needed, do you know something like that?

Ric Vice, to get you right, the Hpf wouldn't be the right choice for me because it doesn't work as a tone control? would it be much more difficult to include a tone control circuit? I remember having seen a collection of schematics of bass electronics. I plan to rib out the existing electronics...

Thanks for looking for the components you used, I'm just not sure whick pieces to choose for the electronics, because I thought that I should choose those which are usually used for audio or doesn't it make a difference for example which 1k resistor I choose?

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum because of my research for a preamp for my EUB. I have the Harley Benton EUB which is quite equal to the well known Palatino bass. I was thinking of changing the active electronics inside for the HPF by fdeck, because I think it mighr be the best solution...
