Excellent Preamp!!

This preamp beats my go to preamp I've used for many years on my basses. It's currently installed on my Sire 5-string P/J (strung with labella flatwounds) which sounds killer especially on the neck pickup. The tone knob, which works when active, is the magic for me. Gives me the ability to mimic vintage sounds to a T!

Mike Pope preamp

Quality product ! Potentiometers are sturdy, very quiet, noiseless. Frequency centers are very musical. Very happy with this purchase.

Mike Pope Flexcore

I recently purchased and installed a Mike Pope Flexcore 4 band preamp and everything went smoothly. I received my order 2 days before the scheduled delivery date and installed it in my ‘95 Tobias Classic 5! It took less than an hour from start to finish and the tone is incredible!
I can’t recommend your fine company enough!
Thanks,
Jay New

Just another level

I installed this preamp in my BTB 1005 and immediately my bass became another beast. This preamp is very versatile and has certain warmth about it. Just can't explain the warmth but get one. Great product and great service Fat Bass Tone.
