Hi, JC. Hope you’re doing well.
I just modernized my stack with weight as the primary objective (we’re all getting older). So we have a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 700 Bass into a pair of Trace Elliot 1×10 cabs. And my 360+ preamp into the effects return. Man, what a glorious sound! Ultra clean and authoritative. Thank you again for creating that kit. The building was fun but the playing has been extraordinary.

This kit is of great value for all DIYers looking for a great bass preamp.
The booklet gives you step by step information to assemble the kit, plus you have responsive answers on the dedicated forum.
With all components ready, the unit can be built in a few hours.
The unit sounds extremely articulated and clean, above my expectations.
If you’re on for upgrade there are many things you can do… just talk about it in the forum

I own a recording studio in Spain and I must confess I’m a bit picky about bass sounds. Right now we are working in a new album and I must say that the bass player who’s recording loves the sound of the 360 rack version I built, including the limiter addon that can be found in your forum. First time I used it intensively and I’m really happy with it, I usually need some time for the bass sounds but this time it was really quick. I record always with at least another preamp (Aguilar DB680 or some neve clone I have) so I have different flavours to choose while mixing but this time the Aguilar is out, just the 360 and some parallel distortion from one overdrive I built nailed the tone.
Very recommendable, great sound, lots of info on the forum if you’re looking to expand or customize the build, and JC is always there to help with his expertise.
