just buy it! it stands toe to toe with big names popular preamps, you won't be dissapointed. boost and cut, easy instalation, all you need. it behaves musicaly so either cut or boost won't make a crazy mutant unmusical sound, everthing fits. i've tried bunch of high end gear (including fodera) and this one is the only preamp that reminds me of high class mike pope preamps found in fodera. it's just as musical, but ofc lacks some finesses of MPP.
i intended this preamps to be a first hand drop in for two ibanez basses i had without preamps. then latter i'd buy some big name preamp. boy was i suprised. all in all, both ibanez SRs (705 and 668 form '91) still have these preamps and they sound better than ever!

buy it, this thing blows competition out of the water.

Great bass circuit
Little Al 12.09.2017
I fitted this tone circuit, to my Ibanez, Mikro, short scale bass.
Pros: It was easy to fit, just a bit of soldering. The battery fitted snugly in the control cavity. The transformation was instant, with total control over, bass and treble, overall volume, and pickup balance.
Cons: The only negative would be for anyone who can't solder, as there are a few connections to be made.
The bass was Ok in its original state, but didn't have a lot of choice, in the tone department. The Artec Se-2 circuit gives all the control you need.

Active bass

I bought this to put in my Cort GB74 which I got second hand and it had it's preamp taken out and the pickups swapped for SD basslines. Have to tune to drop C, so this is helpfull since I'm using a 4 string bass almost like a 5 string.

Paired with the Seymours this goes a long way. And at this price range there is nothing to complain about.

I used this for a 90s epiphany ebm4 and it sound great. The best tone and clarity for this kind of money!

If you can work your way with a soldering iron than it is easy to install as well.
