No doubt! That's an awesome idea....I wonder how much each module would cost? Gotta have em in lefty configuration too!!!

I was def feelin that Aguilar OBP-3 pre the most but the Bart was def a very close 2nd!

I got smashed earlier for this, but FINGERS and TOUCH and PRACTICE can make a squire sound as good as anything. Play it, and SHUT UP!

No, Really. ;D

Post by: 6stringapprentice on August 27, 2009, 04:52:18 PM: I was just looking at that on the site. Not to mention I'm guessing these module have to run at least 300 bucks and he has 5 of them and wants more. :o But considering his a "featured artist" I don't he's taking too big of a financial hit from these upgrades
I must say that is very cool, but I don't see this catching on. Now if someone were to make quick change pickups. ;D

LOL quick change pickups? How would that work?....Soon we'll see quick swap necks.
We might as well do lego basses ;D

Post by: Torch7 on August 27, 2009, 08:37:44 PM: A friend of mines says the wait on his brubaker was 2 years... so if you want it for Christmas, that prop won't happen.

Title: Re: Detachable/Switchable preamp modules?
Post by: ddwilkins on August 28, 2009, 08:12:02 AM: With the added price tag of 1k for the module, I won't be perchasing a bass just for those features. Cool concept, but the price must come down before I'll do that. I might just see about creating my own modules. How hard could it be? Who knows? there's only one way to find out. ;D
Title: Re: Detachable/Switchable preamp modules?
Post by: DWBass on August 28, 2009, 08:43:32 AM: Is the $1K price for the modules or for the modification to the bass to be able to interchange modules? I can't see paying $1K for each module!
Title: Re: Detachable/Switchable preamp modules?
Post by: jeremyr on August 28, 2009, 08:48:50 AM: I would hope that you receive at least 3 modules for the 1K price.

I checked the website but there is no mention of that on the page. At least I couldn't find it. Get with Brad Johnson over at Talkbass. He's a Brubaker endorsee and guru!

honestly i think for 1K you should get 5 modules.

I know there's custom work invovled, but it can't be that much since the intial R&D is done.

Post by: ssabass on August 28, 2009, 05:40:44 PM: Just call Kevin Brubaker yourself. I actually contacted him a couple of wks ago & he called back, but i was busy at work, just haven't gotten around to calling him back. I wanted to know more about his Brute series bass, that he is selling for $600.00.
