Description
The Bartolini MCT500 is a dedicated bass preamp circuit voiced around a 500Hz low-mid boost — the frequency range that gives your low end body and presence without turning to mud. If your bass sounds thin or gets lost in a mix, this is the kind of shaping that puts the punch back where you need it.
- 500Hz low-mid boost for added warmth and low-end presence
- Treble boost sweepable from 2kHz to 15kHz for dialing in bite, clarity, or smoothness
- Onboard preamp circuit designed for players who want active tone-shaping beyond a passive setup
Pairing a fixed low-mid lift with a wide-ranging treble control gives you real flexibility: push the mids for a rounder, more aggressive growl live, then sweep the treble to match your pickups, strings, or playing style — bright and articulate for slap and fingerstyle, or rolled back for a warmer, vintage-leaning voice.
Like all Bartolini electronics, the MCT500 is built for bassists who care about tone at a granular level — the kind of player swapping preamps and pickups to chase a specific sound rather than settling for factory defaults. It’s a solid choice for anyone upgrading their bass’s electronics cavity or building a custom rig from the ground up.
