Steinberger Synapse Bass Preamp Replacement

[damiangeorgiou]

Hi All,

 

The pre-amp in my Steinberger Synapes 5 string bass decided to die leaving me

with the drama of hunting down a replacement.

 

I have purchased the BTS System however I am not 100% certain it is compatible

with the pickup configuration of the bass.

 

The bass comes with a emg active soapbar magnetic pickup (not sure on teh model)

and a piezo bridge pickup.

 

No wiring the magnetic pickup in was fine as it has a single output and an earth

(along with power). The issue is the piezo bridge pickup. This has 3 wires, two

outputs and one earth. I think one output is the DG string and the other are the

BEA strings.

 

How would i wire it into the BTS System? Is it as simple as soldering the two

output wires together?

 

The reason why i went for the BTS is i have no idea what the system is that

comes with the bass or where to get one.

 

Also interested in what other pre-amp systems people may have used with the

'Steinberger Synapes 5 string bass with piezo bridge)

 

cheers,

 

Damian

Now am i correct to say i should be able to use the EMG BTS Control for EQ, the 'Bartolini MPB2-918 Piezo-Magnetic Pickup Buffer' for the blender between the Mag and Piezo and a **k pot for a master volume?

 

 

If so what value should the master volume pot be?
