Double Bass Newbie to forums and playing double bass looking for advice!

Hello!
Some advice would be appreciated; I'm using an upright bass with amplification which was a compromise in terms of authentic sound. Feedback is the main enemy and I'm exploring the use of preamp EQ's to combat this. I currently have a Boss GEB 7 I used to use with a five string solid body guitar but looking around I came across the Fishman pro-eq platinum. I haven't tried it yet. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Ideas on Preamp EQ's or experience in the best way of fighting feedback when more volume is required most welcome.
