Headway Upright Bass Preamp EDB-1

Headway Upright Bass Preamp EDB-1

Here's the new, (much sought after) Headway upright bass preamp. The EDB-1 is a 'mega multi-purpose and compact external preamp' and so far, nothing out there can rival its capabilities and quality of sound. This one truly succeeds where the competition falls short. It has a 5 band interactive EQ, switchable input impedance and 3-way range switch that enables you to plug any other instrument that you want to amplify (guitar, bass, violin etc..) The greatest complement that people make about this preamp is that it takes the "electric" sound out of the amplified upright bass, and makes it sound "acoustic" again. Our price, $319 and free domestic shipping.

Special Offer: At the moment, we are offering a String Emporium Gift Certificate for $10 to include with your shipment package. Customers are allowed to use the gift certificate to include something else in the shipment, but it cannot be applied towards the same preamp in the same order. Customers can buy the preamp now by internet and we will enclose the certificate or call our toll free, 800-600-2689 line to add any additional items to the order and redeem the certificate immediately.

K&K Duo Channel Bass Preamp

This is a smaller preamp by K&K Sound that is usually used to combine pickups for those using one then switching to a 2nd or blending both pickups at the same time.  Of course each channel has a separate volume control.  The preamp is usually mounted to (in front of or in back) of the bass' tailpiece.  The dimensions:  4 3/8" x 3 3/8" x 1/2"

It is compatible with both a Peizo style pickup and/or magnetic.  It has strong bass, midrange and treble filters and offers internal gain adjustments which set the pre-amplification factor from 1 to 10 (per channel.) This means you can boost the signal input to 10-fold amount.  It has two volume control knobs.  You can also adjust the trim pots (small potentiometers) with supplied precision screw driver.
