Adding an Aguilar OBP-1 or OBP-2 to my '82 Cruisebass


Recommended Posts

  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.

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...

That's a really nice Bass preamp pedal which is better than the Tech 21 Bass Driver DI pedal that I'm currently using. I like that Tone Hammer pedal has an adjustable mid-range EQ with Boost/cut.
