I've scraped together some $$$, and I think I'd like to buy a new pre-amp.
I'm currently running either a Furman PQ-3 (which I like OK) or a Behringer V-Amp Pro (which I hate). If I need to bi-amp, I use a Peavey CS-800 (sounds OK, but weighs a ton; crossover cans are hard to find & fragile) or a Bi-Amp crossover (noisy). I have a SF-2, but I haven?t gotten the hang of using it yet, so I usually don?t use it. There?s also a couple of EQs BBE units floating around, so I don?t lack for available pre-amps.
My main bass is a Series I. I haven?t tried running in stereo (I have no gigs where it would matter to anyone but me, and there would be a lot of gear overhead).
I like the crossover & direct out on the F-1X, but I wonder if I?m missing out on the full Series experience by not having the two channels of the F-2B.
Or should I just look for a cheap electric upright?
As for the stupid question: Is there any difference other than the CVQ between Series I & II electronics? Can you convert a Series I to a II by replacing the 3-position switches with pots?
Thanks in advance.
