HPF - canI use this instead of others?

Hi Azure Skies:
So you do not think that

or
https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/low-high-pass-filter

is more fitting for my purposes? I mainly use the passive pick-ups in my Bass, but know and again I use the active pickups.

I think a HPF is useful for a lot of bassists, and is a nice tool to have when you have control over the cutoff frequency. Whether you think that is useful for you is for you to decide. I just wanted to point out that a fixed 1-pole filter is not comparable to a variable 2-pole filter.

I get that youre not trying to sell me anything-... but please spill it - I want subjective opinions here guys...

I'd recommend the Broughton L+HPF. Having the boost knob as well as the Low Pass option to cut down in noise and too much sizzle is just about as useful as the HPF is.

The combo of both is awesome.

Tried the 4/5 button yester day - didnt seem to make any difference soundwise og volumewise i the rehearsing room.
Maybe I really wont be able to tell the differerence if i get a Broughton or not..

The louder you play, the more effect a HPF has. With an adjustable unit, one of the most important things it does is compensate for room boom.

Another way I've used is to play bass safely at medium volume through a guitar amp.

It's the one piece of kit (Broughton always-on) I do not leave home without, especially for backline rehearsals or gigs.

Along With my 3-band active eq Ibanez Musician PJ, I can beat any rig or room into submission.

I agree.

Since I picked up my HPF and studied more about what LPFs do, my next purchase will be the H/LPF.
