Fishman Introduces Platinum Bass Pro-EQ

Fishman introduced their latest addition to the Pro-EQ family of preamps, the Pro-EQ Platinum Bass. This new preamp/DI/EQ offers bassists precise tone shaping and essential pro features, developed for both electric and upright bassists.

One of the key elements of the Platinum-Bass, is its ability to add warmth to a raw bass signal. The Platinum-Bass uses "J-fet" circuitry in conjunction with Fishman's exclusive "Voltage Doubler" technology allowing for greater dynamics and clarity. The preamp's five-band graphic equalizer has been carefully voiced to shape and sculpt many essential bass sounds. A "Bottom floor" (depth) control lets the player dial in tight and focused bass response while eliminating boomy resonance and handling noise.

The Platinum-Bass smoothes out hot spots with a bass friendly, photo-optic compressor, which performs without "pumping" or strangling high frequencies. This compact design offers XLR D.I. (features a pre/post and ground-lift switches), 1/4" unbalanced and 1/4" tuner outputs round out the package to give the bassist many setup options for gigging or recording. Power is supplied by 9V battery, AC adapter or 48V phantom.
