Hi folks!

I use LPB-1 with my japanese Ibanez SR885 and it works very good for me!
This bass is active and has 3-band eq with parametric mids and sometimes (but not everytime) boosting mids gives me unwanted distortion of sound when I recording bass directly into my Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6.
If I keep eq flat, bass sounds good for me but quiet. I don’t understand why it happens? Seriously, my passive fretless Yamaha BB5N II sounds really louder than active Ibanez!
Few month ago I tried Fender Elite Jazz Bass 5 at Ukrainian Music Fair and heard difference between passive and active mode with flat eq on it. Active was louder and more fatty (passive mode also was very good, I’m talking now about loudness only).

Sorry for lots of text So, when I bought used LPB-1 about 22 bucks, I was almost satisfied. Now I don’t need to crank up my onboard preamp to have nice sounding bass with required volume.

Beer!
