Hey guys been off for a long while. Question what kind of pre is this. Bass is a ns2a
I guess I must be out of the loop on this one^^ NS-2A's fetch a good price, and that's in the normal range.

Samick era 9V HAZ clone.
Note the 100K volume pots - this preamp will work match up better with active EMG's than the version with 500K pots.
Hope you snag it.

Ty was just wantedto make sure what Iit was. Bass is wicked nice and good price. If my loan goes thru today I'm gonna grab it though not totally fond of color. If deal falls thru I'll let you guys know.

That was my thought. Heck, one of our own is asking $650 with a hardshell for his black one with actives. $600 + shipping isn't that far off, is it? Or is the one in question mangled beyond recognition?
Oh yeah. Sammick. I didn't see the orientation of the pots. You are correct. I was looking at the parts on the board and seeing some missing parts.
Side note. I see it being called the Korean 9 volt circuit. We used to say Korean Haz copy.
Samick's control layout is different on the NS-2As they made.
The first few years, before Samick, the VVTB were in a diamond shape.
