Markbass Instrument PRE P MBA120010Y bass guitar preamp for unlimited EQ control and tone shaping with a wide range of wiring and application options. It can be configured to run on either 9V or 18V and has an extraordinarily long battery life as a result of remarkably low power consumption.
All this in an ultra-compact circuit, being able to choose the right frequencies for faithful sound reproduction, even at extreme settings, without diminishing the tone across the entire frequency range. The MB INSTRUMENT PRE P version includes the same pre-wired controls and accessories featured on Markbass instruments (including six potentiometers, a polyester capacitor, a 9V battery connector and an output jack), simplifying electronic bass customization
Markbass Instrument PRE P MBA120010Y bass guitar preamp
Bass guitar preamplifier
Pre-wired electronics - features the same additional controls and wiring as featured on Markbass instruments. The VOLUME / VOLUME / TONE control knobs are clearly the best choice for managing two pickup setups, and the TONE push/pull knob allows for quick transitions from Jaco or Motown vocals to more modern, open tones - even when I go into passive mode. In active mode, the BASS / MIDDLE / HIGH potentiometers in the 3-band EQ section increase the character of the instrument, adding modern and rich responses when you raise or lower selected frequencies, providing a balanced and defined tone even at extreme settings
Active/passive mode - volume level changes when switching from active to passive and back are almost imperceptible
Ultra-compact size, easy to set up
Optimal sound reproduction, even at extreme settings, without diminishing the sound details of the instrument over the entire frequency range
Low power consumption, configured to run on 9V or 18V (using one or two 9V batteries). Due to its low power consumption (approx. 700uA in a 9V configuration), the preamp provides an exceptionally long battery life
