Same sample, different basses (and strings), different types of soapbar pickups. It's not a fair comparison, since all basses have different electronics, strings and woods. But maybe it gives you the idea what to expect.

Ibanez SR900, Aguilar DCB & OBP-3, D‘addario ProSteels

This playlist showcases the Aguilar OBP-2 preamp in a Spector Euro 4LX. The Spector's originally a TW model, the pickups have been replaced with 35P4 and 35J-R and is strung with DR DDT string 45-105. Wiring is done vol/vol/pre/out.

When boosted, bass and treble are always boosted to 100%. Flat means bass and treble controls are set in center.

Fodera Emperor II /w Aguilar DCB Pickup

Hi,
On this profile you’ll find sound samples mainly from Spectors but also from other basses I have - current and past. 
The demos also focus on different pickups and preamps which I did try out. Hazlabs, EMG, Aguilar, Tonepump, Darkglass, SNC and BazCustom. Everything's mine, just doing it for fun.
