Really good stuff!
I have tried a lot of pick ups and pre amps and always there were soemthing which I didn´t like. But this is really great. The price is very good and the sound is also good too.
But I dont like that the Battery is outside on a seperate bag. This is not so beauty and nonpractical. The tuner is a great Idea!
This Preamp works very well and fits perfect on the Double Bass and it feels very stabil. I have used it very often and I am still lucky with this one. Therfefore I can say only good things and I would it buy again! If you need a good preamp with pick ups. Buy This!!!

Easy rockabilly set-up
this preamp-pickup combo is designed to compete with K&K's rockabilly rig (which I previously used, so this review will mostly be a comparison).. and it is better in some ways, worse in others. There is a noticeably better range across the EQ and gain pots (which are located usefully on the outside of the unit, unlike K&K who took the bewildering decision to bury the gain pots behind the front face of the preamp where they cannot be adjusted without a great deal of hassle).. Sound-wise it is bright and lively, with plenty of output. The bridge pickup will function as a stand-alone pickup for those well-paid jazz gigs we all fool ourselves we're gonna get :)
The only downside is the finish and durability of the 'externals'.
These are sub-par.
For example, they give you a fingerboard ('clicky') pickup which does not have enough wire attached to reach the part of the fingerboard where it needs to be!! ... and my bass is just a 3/4 so FORGET putting one of these on a 4/4 bass.. The wires are cheap looking and thin, the sockets are plasticky and less reinforced than the K&K, and they look like they will give trouble sooner rather than later.
However, for the price this represents a good value, easy and convenient way to make a rockabilly sound.
Put it on carefully and permanently and it shouldn't let you down.

Very good unit
No problems and it sounds great! Battery connection wires look a little flimsy but not caused any issues. Small control knobs a little fiddly and hard to read, but again, have not caused any issues.
