Hamer95USA Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Hello HFC folks, I've been thinking of adding either the Aguilar OPB-1 bass preamp ( 2 band EQ boost only) or the OPB-2 ( 2 band EQ boost/cut) to my '82 Cruisebass with the stock Dimarzio Precision bass & Jazz bass pickups. Does anyone have experience with these on their basses? If so, would you be kind enough to share your experiences with me? Aguilar onboard bass preamp I currently use the Cruisebass with a Tech 21 Bass Driver DI box for the EQ boost/cut & drive with an old Boss CS-2 compressor before the SWR Super Redhead 2x10 bass combo amp & Goliath Jr. 2x10 bass cab. It would be nice to have the 2 band EQ boost/cut wired to my Cruisebass and eliminate the Tech 21 Bass Driver DI box from my current bass rig. Guitar George
bigolsparky Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I have installed the Audere on two basses and was very impressed. I have never tried the Aguilar.
killerteddybear Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I think something is lost when you put an onboard EQ onto a passive bass. You never get that passive tone back. Have you considered a simple stomp EQ? Aguilar makes those too... https://www.aguilaramp.com/effect-pedals/tone-hammer/

I like that Tone Hammer pedal has an adjustable mid-range EQ with Boost/cut. Guitar George
