Feeler... BBE-BMAX-T Tube Preamp

Sign in to disble this ad
NOW ITS FOR SALE...BBE BMAX T Bass Guitar Preamp...This great preamp is in mint condition, gigged only twice and works perfect. It has one preamp tube. This is really a great Preamp,but I'm going for an "All-in one amp". Its less than a year old, but I'm not totally sure if the warranty is transferable but its built like a tank and has never given me a second of problems. These list for $600.00 New, so I'm thinking about 400.00 for one in perfect condition,non-smoking home,always rack-mounted. Does'nt come with the rack. Will send pics if interested. Full description below.

The BBE BMAX-T is a high quality tube bass preamp/processor with applications both in the recording studio and on the road in demanding live applications.
No other bass preamp on the market has the total quality, professional features and incredible tone of the BMAX-T. At the heart of the BMAX-T is a class A, DC regulated tube preamp section - a classic tube preamp that recalls the traditional designs of the 50's and 60's. The BMAX-T features a high voltage (300V) tube front end with hand-picked Groove Tubes 12AX7 tube, providing all of the pre-amp gain and passive interactive tone control. The high-end DI section is transformer-balanced with a genuine Jensen transformer for the ultimate in warmth and presence. 1% metal film resistors, military-spec PC board and custom-made toroidal power transformer complete the no-compromise design of the BMAX-T.

While no expense was spared in the engineering and internal componentry, the packaging of the BMAX-T received the utmost attention to detail. From the 1/4 inch thick extruded front panel to thoughtfully designed ergonomics to the red-abalone-topped knobs, the fit and finish of the BMAX-T exudes quality craftsmanship.

BBE BMAX-T Features:

The BMAX-T is anywhere an extremely high-quality, pristine preamplifier is required for the bass guitar.
In the recording studio where a bass amplifier is impractical due to space, or loudness considerations, or
In performance applications, where players will find the BMAX-T ergonomics intuitive and easy to use

BBE BMAX-T Specifications:

Full Function 4th Generation BBE Sonic Maximizer processor
All tube Class A front-end with interactive 3-band EQ and interactive bright switch
Hand-selected premium quality Groove Tubes 12AX7
Jensen transformer balanced DI output
Quasi-parametric mid-range EQ with 12db of boost or cut between 250 to 1000hz
Single-knob soft-knee optical compressor
Custom toroidal transformer
Inputs for both passive pickup and active pickup instruments
1meg ohm input impedance
Ground lift switch
Balanced XLR and ¼ inch TRS Outputs
Military-spec circuit boards
Extra thick, extra wide circuit board traces for unequaled electron flow
1% metal film resistors throughout
Solid 1/4 inch thick aluminum extrusion front panel for extreme ruggedness
Made with pride in the USA
5 year warranty Peace...DAcat

I'm starting to wonder how bad I even want to sell this untill I decide on a power amp...since I've only had two nibbles...is there just no interest in a BBE-BMAX-T or, is the price too high, or "Is it the Economy, stupid?"...Peace...DAcat

BBE-BMAX-T Tube Preamp

PRICE DROP!! Okay-I know the market is low and everything-but this is a mint piece of gear and I'd rather hold onto it than give it away. Final for sale price is $375.00 plus shipping...Peace...DAcat
