Good electronics, pots could be better

Razvan 16.04.2015

I bought these electronics to replace the default(read cheap) ones from a Harley Benton 4 string P-J bass. The installation went smooth; i have consulted their official site for diagrams and schematics, since the package contained no such thing. Since i switched form a 2band to a 3band eq, i cannot really say if the sound changed because of the electronics, or the setup of eq. But it definitely did not became worse. When it comes to the build quality, the pots the ones that drag it down. They spin super easy, and feel a bit cheap. The volume pot is having a weird logarithmic feel;the first and last 10% do not change the volume; going down from 90% to 80% though is a huge difference. Under 80% the volume is too low for me.

Best thing i bought!

Maskov 22.07.2019

I bought it for my brother bass guitar,,he got ibanez sr800 japanese vintage from 91! and bass just got that modern sound now that i have been loking for,when i first connected it it was distorted a bit,then i fixed it with trim pot for every pickup.Now it works Flawlesly! Battery is very efficient,and doesnt make some nasty noisy sound like it used to do without upgrade..go for it,,cheap but worth it!

Perfectly reasonable onboard preamp

Madjon 08.01.2022

Fitted to my much abused 1983 ibanez roadstar fretless.

Sounds very nice, it's fine nothing dramatic or spellbinding but it works nicely. Good cuts and boosts.

A bit fiddly to fit and switching part too a bit of figuring out for a novice like me.

Good value ...really

Not as powerful as a sire preamp (by a long shot) but better than others I've owned

Sympa, sans plus.

marco_elwray 16.02.2022

Même si je ne suis pas un grand fan des grandes marques, il faut avouer que je n'aime pas trop les fréquences choisies sur ce préampli, surtout les médiums et les aigus. Sinon, pour le prix, je trouve que c'est plutôt qualitatif, et ça fonctionne parfaitement.

Cheap Set for first try

Anonymous 18.06.2014

I bought this Electronic Set for my DIY bass.
It is delivered completely wired. You only have to connect the Output-Jack and the Pick-Ups.
The Sound is really strong and easy to manipulate with the EQ (Highs, mids, lows). The Frequencies are well-chosen and work very well.
Very convenient is the middle lock of the balance controller.

I got a litte humming with this electronic, but it doesn't disturb live on stage.

My recommendation: Use it for easy DIY-projects or first tries on DIY. Or as an upgrade for bad instruments.

Good upgrade!

Cesar593 13.10.2017

This is a noise free, reliable and very well built active preamp for bass guitar! Don't be fooled by it's price, this is a really good upgrade for many active bass out there. The best for the buck, no doubt about it!

Functional and budget friendly

Woodinblack 08.04.2019

This is a good value 3 band bass preamp from artec. The quality is ok, its not going to win awards for its construction but it is easy to fit and is a clean noiseless system. I have been running two of these in couple of basses that I gig regularly and they haven't caused any noise or any other trouble. They also appear fine on battery useage. I can recommend them as a workhorse product.

only complaint is that if your installing it into a single pick up bass its rather difficult to install but other than that brilliant 3 band eq for the money, definitely would buy again

Unbelievable Sound Quality

Bud I 04.07.2022

I upgraded my passive Dean 1 6 String with this preamp and what was already a good sounding bass is now a GREAT sounding bass. I recommend this preamp to anyone converting from passive to active.

Artec se-3 bass preamp

StuartL 02.08.2014

Good quality preamp, I used it to convert a passive bass to active. It sounds as good as many other higher priced preamps. Easy to solder too as the solder points are a good size and easily accessible. Prewired cables are really neat and tidy. The blend pot works really well. For the price they are, you really can't go wrong, would certainly use one of these again in the case of a similar project.
