Bass preamp

A bass preamp shapes tone and adjusts the signal level before the next part of the rig, making it useful on stage and while recording. Gain and tone controls can provide a clean foundation, mild grit or a sound that sits more clearly in a band. Depending on the rig, the signal can feed an amplifier input or travel through a suitable output to live sound or recording equipment. Compare the tone-shaping options, level control and connections you will actually use.
