I switched out the tonepump on my Euro lx5, for an EMG BQC.
To my knowledge, I coined the term “ToneDump”.
Google “tonedump”, look for “talkbass forums” after it. Went through the whole process and some sound clips. Also did a “ToneJump” transplant, into an old squier fretless p bass, also on talkbass.

I agree with everything but the 24 fret idea. You can tap them if you would like… thats what I do.

Tone pumps have horsepower for sure. Tone for me comes from the amp with a Spector. I had an LX5 with an OBP3 but not a fan of those. How does the OBP1 and BTS differ from the TP? How does it change the tone of the bass? I may consider trying that also if you could shed a little light.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Tonepump. Being a two-band boost only preamp, there isn’t a lot of tonal variety to deal with. Since the Spectors are inherently growly and middy, the Tonepump seems to really accentuate these characteristics a bit too much. They play like a dream and are so comfortable.

I own two Euro 5’s. They werent cheap but they play like basses that would cost twice as much. Only letdown for me was the tonepump circuit – Now have an Aguilar OBP1 in one bass and a EMG BTS in the other and couldnt be happier.

Nice basses however:
1. 24 frets but you can only play 20 or 21 of them due to the body not cut out deep enough. Inefficient if you’re a soloist trying to use all of the upper register.
2. No midrange control.
3. Bridge saddles touch each other so when you adjust 1 the others next to it move. Cumbersome layout.
4. High end Spectors, Euro, USA’s, are very solid and well made with great tonal character. Tone pump and EMG-DC’s are a good combo. Very good string spacing and comfortable to play.
