THE ULTIMATE BASS CONTROL CENTER
The Bassbone V2 combines high quality audio performance with the ability to take control of your tone and configure each feature to match your ideal setup. Seamlessly switch between upright and electric basses, while tailoring the signal from the upright with a three band EQ, high-pass filter, and a high impedance input for a more natural tone. You can engage your effects pedals with a single footswitch, and assign them to either input individually, or share them across both. A wet/dry control for the effects loop provides the ability to blend the original bass signal in with the output from the pedals, preserving the tone and clarity of your instrument. The Bassbone V2 also features a powerful clean boost that can be activated with a footswitch, or reconfigured as a mute switch for silent tuning on stage.
BASSBONE V2 APPLICATIONS
USING THE BASSBONE V2 WITH TWO BASSES
The Bassbone V2 is designed to let you switch between any two basses. Use channel-1 and your amp’s EQ to set you primary tone. Use channel-2’s ultra powerful EQ to compensate so that each instrument sounds its best.
SWITCHING BETWEEN UPRIGHT AND ELECTRIC
The Bassbone V2’s high performance preamp is well suited for all instruments including upright bass. This lets you toggle between electric and acoustic and optimize the tone going to your stage amp and the PA system. Add effects pedals using the built-in effects loop.
USING THE BASSBONE V2 WITH ONE BASS
The Bassbone V2 is the ultimate front end for any bass. Channel-1 can be set flat or augmented with two modern presets. Channel-2’s 3 band EQ is so powerful that it can turn your P-bass into a Rickenbacker!
