    On-Board preamps: Bartolini vs Glockenklang

    I don’t know if this helps but here is a clip of my Human Base which came with Delano Pickups and a Glock pre. Treble and mid slightly boosted. At least you can hear finger and slap style on this clip. Stomp bass cover by The Brothers Johnson - Human Bass bassx.oc5 bass

    Ibanez BTB multiscales…sheesh

    Yup. It was probably in a shipping crate for 8 months too so one day won’t kill me.

    Who’s playing a squire?

    Proudly playing my modded Squier! It always seems to find its way to the gig bag with a second higher end bass. I have ended up staying with the my Squier, for most performances because it’s hard to put it down!!

    Show Your Pandemic Mods

    Ok. I mod basses as a side job and got bored! I had most of the mod parts laying around. I have never owned a Squier bass before but fell in love with this model because of the soapbar pickups, the black binding and blocks and the 12” radius neck. The stock sound surprised me in a good way but -...

    Wire assignment (Squier Contemporary Active HH Jazz Bass W/Soapbar pickups)

    Thanks rojo. I hear it could take a while to get the pickups. I will try to get some sound recordings out once I’m done with the install.

    You are dead on about the Big Splits! I have them in my MTD KZ5 and they sound awesome!! Here are the pics of the Squier. Excuse the back of the bass, it is open until the pickups arrive.

    Wire assignment (Squier Contemporary Active HH Jazz Bass W/Soapbar pickups)

    Thanks ECE. I’ve made some extensive changes to this bass and have decided to just change the pickups. I installed Hipshot tuners, a graphite nut, Hipshot A bridge, converted to a five knob 4 band Audere preamp (18v). I tried Bartolini Singularity pickups but didn’t quite like them in this bass...

    One of the best basses available period! I mod basses as a business. I happen to own one of these and it is my only bass, out of 8, that I have chosen not to mod. Everything on it and in it is great! People - you need to jump on this quick!!!

    What albums do you keep coming back to?

    For me, it’s this entire masterpiece of an album. I no longer play MusicMan basses but my first professional bass was a 1979 Stingray. The bass player is Charles Meeks ! It kills me how unsung this guy is ! This album changed my preparation towards playing bass. Also, I still see conversations...

    Lakland 55-01 owners poll: to upgrade or not to upgrade?

    I love this bass ! I agree that you could get by with just a preamp change. The Mk1's, to some people's surprise, can get the job done under those circumstances. I have Bartolini P25S "Singularity" pickups with a John East Uni-pre Preamp. Every time I play it, I get a ridiculous grin on my face...

    Hey scuzzy, I have not checked this thread in a while. When I got my set I was told I would be receiving the first set. I, as Adil stated, sent an email directly to Bartolini. I even talked to their distributor by phone and he was extremely cool ! His name is Doug Somervell. All I know is that...

    This is not an April Fools' Joke - BTB owners rejoice !

    You have good ears my friend. I didn't mind the MK2 pickups but I prefer a less scooped sound personally. I will mention that I had to back the bass off considerably on the H65's. They were actually set to center detent because the bass was much stronger. Treble was near max, mid sweep at...

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I have never posted a sound link so I hope this works. There is a sample of the Mk2 pickups on one file. I did the recording in the following order: Both pickups, neck pickup, bridge pickup, fingerstyle then slap to a backing track. The H65cbc pickups were...

    These pickups may have arrived on April Fool's Day but I wouldn't joke like this ! I heard another TB'er mention that these were coming. I was told I have the 1st set but who really knows - Anyway the new Bartolini H65CBC B/T replacement pickups for the Bartolini MK2 and BH series are here !

    I own one of these. You are correct !!! I would be very reluctant to sell mine. I have 7 basses - all of them modded in some form. This is the only bass that I have not modified. It simply needs nothing. Great neck, build quality, sound and electronics. Trust me, if I were in the market for...

    Thoughts on Lakland Skyline 55-01

    This bass is great for the price. The Skyline series, IMO, Compares to basses costing much more. We have all heard the knock on the preamp and I personally identify with that. I purchased this bass mostly because of the fantastically playable neck. The fit and finish didn't hurt either. Since...
