Pre-Amp?

Posted by Mark on August 22, 2001 at 22:23:51:

Hi,
I'm new to this board. I have been playing upright bass about 6 years now. I have been plugging in with a fishman pickup and a fender combo amp. I know I should know this, but what is the purpose of a pre-amp? Does it 'tweak' the signal so that you can control the tone better than just using the EQ on the amplifier? And what pre-amp would you recommend? I play mostly bluegrass, some folk, a little rockabilly...

Thanks a lot from Mississippi
Mark
