What Comes Between a Dbass and his PAPA
 

Ken, what pickups or mics do you use with this setup?
Thanks,
Bill

Pick-up?
 

Well, I have an Underwood type made by Shadow as shown in the PAPA pic page. That doesn't matter all that much because it works with any pickup or Mic or instrument.

The convenience is that regardless of the bass or pick-up used, I can EQ 3 bands at once. If the settings are too high or low for the bs/md/tr bands, then it can be re-set internally on the DIP switch to better match the needs of that bass or type of music being played. I used the exact same setting as pre-set on Smith basses currently but with the Double Bass. It worked great.

In a room with blasting guitars around me, I plugged the bass into the PAPA and used my headphones and just worked on some of my Orchestra music. On stage, the headphones can also be used as a monitor if the sound in the speaker isn't loud enough for you as well.

What about using with an amp?
 

Can it go between the pickup and an amp to allow placement of the amp so as to avoid feedback and still provide a headphone out?

with amp?
 

It's main use is as a Pre-amp.. Bass to PAPA, PAPA to Amp. The headphones can be used if desired as it has its own volume control, different than the one fed to the Amp. Dual usage.

The answer directly is Yes!
