I would love to have the Supers with that Bridge. A true work of art and perfection.

I installed the latest version of the Underhill Dual Filter preamp into my NG today. That is a great system he has, very modular and customizable with zero soldering. It took me longer to desolder and remove my old preamp (Glock) then it did to install the new one. And it sounds great! I have one filter for the neck pickup, and the other filter for the NG2 pickup selector (middle/bridge pickups). Each filter has a stacked pot with a variable Q. Extra modules can be installed between any of the existing modules, so I might grab a pick attack and semi-parametric bass control as well, but need to make sure they will fit first.
I'm using the base dual filter setup here: https://www.underhillbass.com/product-page/cali-classic

It's similar to the preamp in a Wal bass. It's one LPF on the neck, and another LPF on middle/bridge, with an adjustable Q so it can boost the frequency where the filter cutoff is.
That’s super cool @Derek Williams ! I considered Underhill but he was making some of the additional modules and ended up buying the ACG/East for my Super J(P). I like the ACG/East a lot but would consider Underhill if I swap out a preamp on another bass. His options have grown and a few of them are really intriguing.
Did you go with Underhill's blend control rather than the typical Dingwall rotary selector?
Both, as I have 3 pickups. I have the NG2 rotary selector for Middle/Bridge pickups (which feeds one of the filters), and then the Underhill blend for Neck/NG2.
If I get the bass EQ module, I'll take out the NG2 pickup selector and just use a 2 position switch (in the old active/passive switch spot) to select between Middle/Bridge in series or Bridge solo, which are really the only 2 settings I use these days.
I think this new version has only been available a month or 2, but it's really nice. It's kinda like setting up a little pedalboard in your bass with all the options.
I'm so glad to see so many more folks on the filter train! Now we just need a way to get true multicoils in the same pickup packaging.
Very cool.
I'm hoping that you will honor us with a review at some point in time. I have no experience at all with filter preamps and am interested in learning more about them...

I have ideas that I need to think about and mock up. Thankfully I have PLENTY of time to do that before sending it to the crew. I and the dealer are unsure if Dingwall will do what I have in mind, it's a bit complex... we'll see though.
I do agree though, it's a truly stellar top. I'm glad it was still available as I've been eyeing it for a couple weeks just waiting on my older blue Z3 to sell... it sold, so now I got to jump back into queue.
Now you have gone and done it. Talking with Tim about a custom Cali Classic (with push/pulls instead of stacked knobs) for my Warwick Streamer....
I'm chatting with him about putting together an order for more modules
He is very helpful
I still see them?
