Don't know yet, I ordered it online and it is being delivered next week. I'm going to plug my bass into the preamp, also ordered the the Presonus compressor COMP16 that I will feed with the preamp (had a built in compressor on an Ampeg amp and I loved what it did for the sound of the bass) send the balanced output of the COMP16 out to the board and the mono out to a Presonus headphone amp that I will use as my monitor.
My keyboard player teases me that my 70s vintage Fender Jazz bass sounds to twangy (says it sounds like I'm playing the ukulele
). The preamp/compressor/ headphone amp will also double nicely as an silent (to my neighbors) electric bass practice rig.

Haven't kept up with the tubes either for several years but heard the same thing. Although last time I checked in on tube world I seem to remember that whoever builds GT's tube does so to there spec. they are not just relabled off the shelf tubes.
So my plan is to plug my bass into this:
Plug that preamp into this:
Send the output of that to the board and to this:
And no I don't work for Presonus, just heard good things about their product.
