Description
Some pickups just need a little more push to sit right in the mix, and that’s exactly what the Bartolini TC5 is built for. This discrete preamp/booster comes preset with a minimum gain of 6dB, giving your medium-output pickups an immediate lift without altering their core tone. Need more? Dial it up to as much as 40dB of boost when you want your low end to really assert itself on stage.
Because it’s a discrete circuit, the TC5 stays clean and quiet even when you’re pushing gain hard — no muddiness, no unwanted noise creeping into your signal. It runs on a single 9-volt battery, keeping the wiring simple and the install straightforward for anyone comfortable working inside their bass’s control cavity.
This is a great option for bass players who love their pickups’ natural voice but feel like the output could use a boost for gigs, recording, or matching levels with other instruments. It’s compact enough to tuck away out of sight, so your bass keeps its clean look while gaining serious tonal headroom underneath.
