In the meantime, I was playing around with my new to me Mesa 400+ and my Hazlab'ed - white EuroLX and recorded a little ditty. I was happy with the bass tone. Let me know what y'all think.

Digin' the tone. :bassist:

I have that combo in my main stage bass, a 35" scale NS 2000/5. It is clean, quite, versatile. I do have a set of SGD pickups on order, and the bassmods three band plus passive tone preamp sitting on the bench. It will be interesting to record some stuff with the EMG set, then replace that with the SGD, and compare.

First, if you can get yourself a NS-2, do it. Just amazing. :bassist:

With your white Euro, what year is it? Does it have the Trim or non-trim Tonepump? What are the first 2 digits after the NB on the back of the headstock?

With your CRFM, I assume it has a EMG BT circuit in it. But it may also have a Aguilar OBP1 or even a Haz copy type of preamp.

Check in the cavity, if you cant tell post or send me a pic.

LimaGuy,
Here are some pix of my 2 Euro preamps. The white Euro I bought about 5 years ago, and I believe it has the non-adjustable TonePump - it's serial # can be seen in the photo.
The plum Euro (CR4FM?) I bought a few weeks ago, and the serial # appears to be 3D4D.
Please take a look & see if you can identify which Preamps I have & what years the 2 Euros are.
Interestingly, the White Euro has the highest output level, followed by the plum Euro, and my USA NS4 with it's 18v electronics has the lowest volume output of the three...

That white one looks like it definitely has the non trim pot tonepump which would explain why it has the highest output level. I have of those in my Rebop and it is the same way so I am going to swap it out with one that has the trim pot.

Your NS-4 has the same 18V circuit I have in my NS-5XL so just as a reference, I had to adjust the tonempump in my Euro 5LX to 30% to get it around the same output level as the NS-5. That just shows how high the output is on those tonepumps so the adjustable ones are really good to have if you want to keep all your basses at a similar output level.

Sam (Limaguy) will definitely have to answer about your CR4FM though since he is much better at the pre's than I am. I am just his apprentice when it comes to a bunch of these things but he will know what it is just by looking at it :)

That looks like it was originally sold by Rex when Rockstar_Bassist bought "brownie" since I believe his certificate of authenticity looks exactly the same. Man, if that was a 5 string, I would be working to get the funds :)

I remember that bass... :o ;)
I have some pics of it in my Photobucket acct. I debated on that one vs. the one I got, and glad I went with my decision honestly.
