It sounds like a weird question, I know... until you've tried both 3EQ and 2EQ Stingrays and realise that the 3EQ is not "just a 2EQ plus a mid control".
With that out of the way...
here's my question.
I have a 2EQ Stingray that I love. I really do. Delicious. But often I also want the sound I get from a 3EQ too. At the moment I get that through my souped-up OLP MM2. It really sounds great. The OLP has a SD alnico pickup and the 3-band preamp and it's great. But that's two basses.
Wouldn't it be great to have both preamps (so to speak) in one bass?
I read that the John East preamp, when you set the mids flat, acts like in a 2EQ Stingray.
Anybody has experience on both the very characteristic Stingray 2EQ and the 3EQ, and the John East preamp?
I love the 2EQ... I don't want to lose that to have a 3EQ, and the 2EQ is *not* just like a 3EQ with the mids flat, I insist, it has a particular response that is very very nice.
So, by installing a John East preamp, would I be able to still have the 2EQ sounds/function as before... but with the addition of a mid control when I chose to use it? Or is it just a 3-band EQ?
