If he shipped overseas I'd have it for my Pacific Blue Burst SR5.

SOLD - to moi
Going to mod my soon to be Hummer Yellow OLP fiver. Yay!

Unless you're going to change the bridge you'll find that the pole pieces won't line up with the strings as the OLP has much narrower string spacing than the SR5.

I may be in the market for a new bridge as well!!!

Why would you take the preamp and pickup out of a SR5? Isn't that part of the EB sound? Or is there a popular mod that is common for these basses? Like with the graphite necks years ago.

I believe Bassmonkee picked up the SR5 with an aftermarket pre-amp in it. I believe he is going to take out the aftermarket unit, and put in an original unit. Right?

Good to see it went to one of the "family"! I have no idea why anyone would pull the pickup/preamp, but hey, their folly is someone else's gain!

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

anyway, here's someone else who "upgraded" their SR5

Actually, I bought a Bongo preamp with the intention of either throwing it into a non-MM bass, or getting a single H Bongo, and swapping out the 3 band preamp with my spare 4 band.

And thats exactly why I said I believe.
