Just Put in my Audere Preamp....

[Doner Designs]

This one has a 4 band Pro Z that David donated. Very nice guy. Bass is for a JDRF fundraiser auction.

The toggles are pickup on/off switches plus one for Z mode. The extra volume and jack are for a mudbucker which is hidden under the pickguard (see poles showing thru). The mudbucker runs passive to its own jack.

I bought the Z's for a Schecter 5. The change from the EMG electronics and what a difference.

"what a difference"

In what ways?

I put one in my 55-01. This bass came with Bart Mk5s which was a step up from stock.. what a great match.

I bought two Audere Preamps.

One for my Jazz FSR, that came in and was installed along with a set of the Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Pickups. I put them in on Monday, went through an adjustment last night. It sounds good, but I am not convinced it is better than the stock. I am seriously thinking of putting the stock passive controls AND pickups back in. I just really liked the sound of them. I had hoped this would be an improvement. I have a bit more time though, so I will wait and see.

The other Audere is finally on it's way and it is to replace the stock preamp in my Warwick FNA Jazzman. I think I will still install that one and see the difference of how it sounds.

One more here - love these things. This one is a Siamese twin custom which David Meadows recommended for this bass which has a magnetic and piezo pickup. Controls are VV, BB, MM, TT, MFS/MFS. Piezo and magnetic get their own tone controls. Very cool.

Loved the Audere's I've had over the years. They could do away with the LED thing though.
