Yup, the eq does sound great. It however significantly increases the volume overall. The mid knob is extremely powerful and REALLY raises the volume. It is way louder than the passive mode. This is a
Huge problem if you uses more than 1 Vass during a set. Switching basses causes a big chance in volume regardless if the other basses are passive or active.
For me this was a big problem. I took out the preamp. I only bought it because I wanted a pj fender and I like the pearl white.
Other than this issue for me, awsome Otherwise
Just received mine yesterday and I concur about the volume jump, especially when switching from passive to active. That's usually the case with most active/passive basses, but this particular one has a major jump as you mentioned. I sometimes switch between active and passive basses live, so I run my basses through a Boss LS2 pedal, which allows me to balance the output of each bass (up to 3, BTW) to avoid that specific problem.
I'll be taking mine out for some gigs this weekend, so I'll give a full report after.
