Cheers Smallface. I did worry that the more expensive one would be a big step up. Ah well, looks like I don't get to be a proper skinflint on this.

Talmans are crazy good bang for your buck. This one was like 450 new. Bit too hot but there's plenty of routing to add J bass pots to make it passive

How's that 5 SR655? I've been seriously contemplating adding one of those as a 5 string option.

Edit: Sorry for replying to a three year old post. :oops:

My work colleague just got a Talman (agreed, outstanding vfm) and changed it to passive using another concentric pot as separate volumes for each pickup and putting a master tone on the control plate. Sounds MILES better passive. Was way too much in active mode.

Don't some amps have active or passive inputs ? Could be wrong here
