I would say everyone's experience is different. The difference I got with the pre-trimpot tone pump and US9V in my EuroLX was amazing.

But the US9V, as great as it is, is not going to be worth the extra money for some people. limaguy put up a comparison of an 18V tonepump, a US9V in a forte, and a US9V in a Kramer NS2. the 18V tonepump and the US9V forte sounded a lot closer to each other than the two 9V basses in my opinion.

Its a great preamp, whether it gets you what you want depends a lot on the bass. heck, I think the difference between old EMG's and modern EMG's may even make a bigger difference.

Sams recording are about 50% of the equation....the other test is in a Live setting cutting through the mix (or getting lost) of drums/guitars. That will be my other test come monday and the switching of basses between settings. Then I will know how it compares better. My guitarist has an ear like no one I know. He will give me his opinion....:bassist:

I'm itching to purchase either the Ian Hill or Doug Wimbish Euro Signature but have not had an opportunity to play either. I'm curious as to how the necks compare on the two. I understand that the Ian Hill is 1.64" at the nut and the Wimbish is 1.5" at the nut. Both basses, however, are described by Spector as having a "thin" neck. Is Spector referring to the neck profile/depth? That is, do they both share a shallow soft C shape (compared to the standard Euro) with the only difference being the nut width? Or is Spector referring to the neck width of both basses vs. a standard Euro? I figured the Club would be able to clarify. I'm interested in the overall-smaller neck.

Well I had 2 of both. Front to back Ian Hill is different than all other Euros. The Wimbish is more of like a jazz narrower and tighter spacing in the first few frets (1.5 nut).

The overall smaller neck is the Wimbish in terms of width (length of fretboard at the nut) and profile (front to back). Both the Ian Hill and Wimbish are thinner from front to back (the "profile") than regular Euros but not by very much. The Wimbish has both thinner width and thinner profile while the Hill only has a slightly thinner profile.

The 2 Wimbishes (3 including the US ns2) I had had the same thickness front to back as regular Euros. Only difference was at the nut. Actually when I placed my order for the US Wimbish I asked about getting a thinner profile and they said they wouldnt do it. I had to choice between at the nut or the profile....I guess it would be beyond thin at the nut area. It does make sense I guess.
