Dean Markley bass preamp
« on: October 17, 2006, 08:54:25 PM »
I was wondering if anyone out there has any info, anecdotes, or God forbid, a manual for this marvelous early 80's device I have acquired. It's the one on top, a Dean Markley DB Bass preamp. The one on the bottom is a guitar amp, the RM 150 DR. I stumbled across the guitar amp a couple of years ago, and fell deeply in love. So when I saw this preamp of the same era and in the same case no less, I had to have it. My journey of tonal discovery is in the early stages, but my initial reaction is Bombastic. It is the anti-fart bucket. Vail Johnson, Kenny G's bass player, reportedly used one of these pre's. Anyhow, greatful for any help, Peace, James
