Double Bass Grace designs Bix

[sidonbass]

Any opinions on this preamp for upright bass with a full circle pickup?
I currently have a Fishman platinum pro and not very happy with it. The best feature is the built in tuner which is useless on outdoor gigs because you can’t see it.
Thoughts?

Grace makes some really, really nice gear. I had an Alix which I regret selling and will probably purchase again at some point. I have no doubt that the Bix is of the same level of quality, but for me personally, the EQ is a little too simple for me for amplifying the upright. I occasionally need a parametric mid and HPF for that.
