Yamaha PB-1 bass preamp

[BB2000]

Yamaha PB-1 preamp. These were originally sold in the 80's and early 90's and have quite a following, and it's easy to see why. Build quality is superb (the unit will outlive the buyer).

Used by the likes of Tony Levin, Jeff Berlin, Billy Sheehan and JJ Burnel.

Good cosmetic condition, everything works as it should. 110V unit, so you'll need to budget for a low power 240/110 adapter (available on ebay for under £4).

Looking for £75 plus postage.

Bump.

[BB2000]

I'm surprised there's no interest in this - when they come up for sale in the US they are snapped up in no time.

Look at the features:

Bass, Middle and Treble tone control
Full parametric (freq, bandwidth and level) tone control (can be switched in or out via phono jack)
Full pass output (from and rear)
Low pass output with freq and level control
High pass output with freq and level control
Send and return each with level control
Balanced DI with level control (and ground lift option)
Headphone output with level control
Built like a brick outhouse

What more would you want?

Have a bump on me!

I'm also amazed there's been no interest.

Team this up with a cheap and cheerful power amp and for around £250 you've got a stonking little rack setup!

Actually, f*** it!

[u][b]I'll[/b][/u] have it!

John, you'll be hearing from me.

There! That'll teach you all to hang around and miss the bargain of the month!

Try it in a bi-amp setup if you get a chance.

Darn it! I'd have jumped at this if I'd seen it sooner. Guess I'll have to fix my car instead...
