Radial Tonebone Bassbone V2

The successor to the popular Bassbone (which is used, among many others, by Victor Wooten and Marcus Miller) is more compact than ever and surprises with even more useful features. Made in Canada, the Tonebone Bassbone V2 is a two-channel bass guitar preamp for one or two basses. A Radial DI XLR-output (for direct connection to the front of house) has been integrated, in addition to a combined power booster, an effects loop, a mute switch, EQs with high efficiency, and independent level controls for both channels.

Bass players who want to have their personal sounds always present (regardless of amplifier) are the ideal partners for the Tonebone Bassbone V2. Thanks to two foot-switchable channels (each with their own EQ) and award-winning Bassbone circuit, in connection with a PZB-booster (for acoustic bass or double bass) the Tonebone Bassbone V2 is a fully equipped sound central for demanding bassists. Outputs for headphones and tuner are also integrated. A 15V power supply is included.

Recommended retail price (RRP) for the Radial Tonebone Bassbone V2 amounts to 388.11 EUR (10.867,16 CZK) (1.591,26 PLN) incl. VAT.
