Grace Design Felix

[metallum]

Hello!

I'm and audiophile still looking for better sound nirvana..
Like most of You

I'm thinking about Grace Design Felix...one of my friends told me about this pre
that its fantastic...but he plays upright combined with electric bass.
I'm only electric bass player..and wondering is it good for this type of instrument?

I have EBS microbass (my first pre totally not using ..dont like it much since I own Fafner II)
and Lehle Basswitch (great! but not high-end)

Thinking about adding Felix as a pre and leave Basswitch for mixing, looping effects duties.

What are Your thoughts....help me decide.
Thanks

I have a Felix which I use for DB. It is sublime. For Bass Guitar? It is OK, but If I was dropping £1K on a bass guitar pre I would be looking at Monique/Tantra Bass Preamp/Demeter/Aguilar etc Don't get me wrong, if I am doubling on a gig then I am more than happy to use the Felix, but if it was bass guitar only I would be looking elsewhere.

There is a review on the Alembic web site that I saw way back that you might find an interesting read.
