Probably the silliest question ever asked here...

Hi folks,

I was just wondering about something and was unable to find the answer, even in the MusicMan basses FAQ.

It is about the preamp of the 3-band SR4 models.
Does this preamp work cut/boost like that of the Sterling/SR5, or is it boost only (like old Rays) ?

Sorry for this stupid question, and many thanks !

Cheers
Jay

i think the 3 band is just like the SR5 and Sterling but the 2 band is cut/boost

Im pretty sure that's how it goes. its been discussed somewhere here ... try the search thingy.

I just checked my 3 band SR and it has center indents, does that help?

Much, thanks !
Confirms this is cut/boost.

>>>but the 2 band is cut/boost

That's my understanding aswell. The two band is both cut and boost although the treble and bass controls have no centre detent.

They certainly do not. Have the detent, I mean. I'm, ahem, out of shape with these things!

Gotta get back to work on finding my 2band tone!

And that tone is here on the forum?

**bovinehost** · 10-21-2005, 07:19 PM

Gotta wait for the kid to go down.....at least I have the strings changed, the pickguard replaces and the straplocks on!

**jongitarz** · 10-21-2005, 07:21 PM

Well then...Carry on Sir.

What P/G did you use?

**bovinehost** · 10-21-2005, 08:14 PM

Now what else would go on a white bass with rosewood neck and matching headstock?

In the words of one of our leaders, "Tort that beeyotch!"

Tort would look real nice, I think barkatoz has the same color and fingerboard combination but with a Black Pearloid guard. I think thats just as cool as the tort.

IMHO that 2 band info on cut and boost is getting harder to dig out to this forum.

It should be in the faq. I figure it is a reasonable question to ask and so many know it should be topside or faq.

+1. I fully share this opinion.
