This. Is. A. Total. Beast. Designed by absolute heavyweight Malcolm Toft, who (ahem) mixed “Hey Jude,” produced artists such as David Bowie, James Taylor, and T.Rex, and founded Trident f’n Audio, the Bassics BPA-1 Bass Preamp is a different kind of bass preamp. The BPA-1 makes amp controls redundant, placing them all at your feet with a selection of controls and stomps to craft your entire frequency range on the fly. This is a device worthy of its provenance.
