Some bass players spend their entire performing lives searching for the perfect tone. Of course, one of the easiest ways to discover your ideal sound is by incorporating a solid state bass preamp into your setup. By raising your instruments signal to line level, preamps allow you to shape the tonal characteristics of your performance with the simple click of a footswitch or turn of a knob. No doubt, preamps are a fun way to broaden the horizons of your bass skills, and this section is loaded with choices. Throughout the '70s, bass preamps became popular fast due to the strong musical shift in bass heavy music.

From rockers like Grand Funk Railroad to favorites like Sly and the Family Stone, these groups were heavily driven by their signature bass tones, which in turn saw a huge demand for bass preamps. Because of this, many renowned pro audio and effect companies began specializing in their own solid state bass preamps, and today you'll find plenty of options. For example, check out the Markbass MoMark T1M. Delivering a warm and full sound that doesn't cloud your instrument's tone, this preamp module highlights the harmonics of your playing amazingly, and reproduces every detail with stunning definition. If tube-warmth minus the distortion is what you want, then the T1M is the answer you've been waiting for. Another top-rated item in this catalog is the Taurus T-Di.

A preamp in a foot pedal, this unit has a powerful and solid bass sound. In fact, the T-Di can even connect directly to a mixing console, and it also works as a booster for your amplifier. Versatile and easy to use, the Taurus T-Di would make any bass player's skills shine through both on stage and in the studio. As a bass player, you know how essential you are to keeping the band's groove, and since you've taken the time and effort to hone your talents so they're razor-sharp, you deserve your own signature bass tone. Thankfully, today's line of solid state bass preamps have never been so capable of helping you discover the sound you have in mind.
