MUSASHI — ACTIVE BASS PREAMP WITH A 3-BAND EQ
Tone
Passive EQ
Volume, Balance, and Tone Adjustment
The ac ve Musashi preamp of your bass guitar includes five knobs. In many cases, the sixth
Tone knob is also present - used for passive tone adjustment, similar to conven onal passive
electronics used in bass guitars.
The first of the preamp knobs is used to adjust the pickups volume. The second knob acts
as a signal blender, between the two pickups, allowing the user to smoothly adjust the balance.
Looking at the knob from the front, the extreme right posi on allows you to use solely the neck
pickup (N - neck = 100% / B - bridge = 0%). By turning that knob le , the share of signal from
the neck pickup would be diminished, and the bridge pickup signal share would go upwards.
The mid posi on of the pot has a detent. It designates the 50-50 (50% B, 50% N) se ng, where
both pickups are at full volume. The extreme le posi on, meanwhile, allows the user to use
solely the bridge pickup (N 0% / B 100%). Noteworthy, the balance knob remains the baseline
asset for the user in the tone-shaping endeavor. The third of the preamp knobs
is used for ac ve EQ mids cut/boost. The fourth, and the fi h knob are stacked and allow for
ac ve treble (upper knob), and bass (lower knob) adjustment. All three EQ knobs feature
a dis nct mid-posi on detent, when the knobs are set in that posi on, the EQ is flat. By turning
the knobs right, the user boosts the given frequency range, while turning the knobs le results
in frequency cutoff.
