so i have a shitty squier vintage modified bass. i want a Marcus Miller Fender J bass. I dont have enough cash for a MM J bass... so i modded my current bass with an active preamp. its 160 bucks altogether and bolts in, no soldering required. the fucking makes my bass scream now. i have so much more tonage to play with now. they fit any j bass and j bass copy too. people drop these things in the expensive ones too... the tone difference is outstanding.
they make preamps for other basses too, check it out if you are a bass player. high recommended.
not to mention it shipped next day and i got it in 2 business days.
I like Warwicks, but theyre a little pricey and I feel like most of that money is just going to the esoteric types of wood they use. I have a Spector Euro LX and it's essentially the same thing as Warwick's Streamer series for half the price.
I want a tobias rumbler with bartolini pick ups if we are going off topic here. That bass is so nice. I can hammer away fast arpeggios on that taperd neck design. It's effortless to play.
