R,5,R,5... Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Due to a recent acquisition I'm going to be selling my Kern. These preamps are not made anymore and are quite hard to find. Harder still is finding one that works on 240V. I had mine professionally converted to European voltage (mine does not use an external transformer -- it is the last version they produced). It is extremely solid, and is well-known for its ability to go from fat and/or overdriven to crisp and clear. The tonal balance control is basically the only control you need once you're happy with the B/M/T settings. It has a Jensen transformer which makes it very good for recording. Some information is available [url="http://www.kernacm.com/ip777gallery.htm"]here[/url] and [url="http://www.kernacm.com/ip777.htm"]here[/url]. A Bass Player review is available [url="http://www.kernacm.com/review.htm"]here[/url]. And reviews from users [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Kern/IP-777+Preamp/10/1"]here[/url]. £600 plus actual shipping costs, or pickup from London SW1. Please pm me with any questions. Edited October 28, 2007 by R,5,R,5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stringbassist Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yesterday and I'd have had this off you, I've only just (2 hours ago) ordered an Alembic preamp, this is by all accounts a souped up version of the Alembic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Kern to the Alembic (at least the F1-X) as it is in my opinion more versatile. Cheers r5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
