Introducing the Laney DB-EAST-PRE: Nathan East's Signature Bass Preamp
Laney, the British amp manufacturer, has collaborated with renowned bass player Nathan East to create the DB-EAST-PRE, a portable preamp that promises to set a new standard in bass preamps. This handcrafted preamp has been meticulously tested and refined by East, who has a wealth of experience from his extensive career in the music industry.
The DB-EAST-PRE is a compact version of Laney's signature head, the DB-EAST, which offers dual inputs for seamless switching between different bass setups. With two pre-dialed-in outputs, bassists can easily transition between acoustic and electric basses, different string configurations, and passive or active pickups. The inclusion of a trim pot on input two allows for precise level matching in various scenarios.
Featuring a Master Volume control, a Tube channel with extensive EQ options, and a Range dial for added bottom end overdrive, the DB-EAST-PRE offers versatile tone-shaping capabilities. Selectable mid pre-shapes and a Tilt switch further enhance the preamp's flexibility, allowing users to tailor their sound to their preferences.
Designed for portability, the DB-EAST-PRE comes loaded with East's favorite impulse responses and offers customization options through a partner app. Its compact size makes it ideal for gigging musicians looking to streamline their setups and adapt to different performance environments.
According to East, the DB-EAST-PRE is a game-changer that packs a lot of features into a small package. Priced at $429.99, this preamp is now available for purchase and promises to deliver top-notch performance for bass players of all levels.
