Re: [Conklin Instrument Owners] More GT7 v. GTDB7 questions.

oil finish, I believe, on the GT-7 neck.

both basses are full active, but I think the GT would sound great as a passive
instrument.

$850 sounds like a really good price but I don't know what "blue book" is on
either.

Hi guys,
any knowledge on the back of neck finish? Someone wrote the GTBD7 was
overall polyurethane which would imply the GT7 is... not? Also: I see
four knobs on the GT7. I don't see any toggle on/off for the preamp.
I do see what I suspect is a battery compartment. Is there a preamp?
Is it always on? Can I just chuck the battery out and play passive?
Also is $850 w hardshell a going price?
Sorry to be a pest,
Tosh

So let me get this right; it's active all the time and the pickups are active. So if I drop- kicked the battery I wouldn't hear anything? Is that right?...

That is correct. The pickups have tiny preamps built inside them and the require a battery to work. There is no active passive situation with the GT-7. You can...
