PICKUPS AND ELECTRONICS Growler

Gibson Tobias Growler Preamp Re-issue


The Gibson Tobias Growler has a single, quad-coil pickup (MM52CBJD3) which is split into 2 virtual
split-coil inline hum-cancelling pickups. Each virtual pickup is connected to its own 2-band EQ
preamp channel with contour control allowing bass and treble cut and boost as well as mid boost
or extra treble boost at the flip of a toggle switch. The amount of mid boost and treble boost are
set by trimmers in the control cavity. The neck and bridge halves of the pickup can be blended to
produce an astonishing range of voices from a single pickup. The Gibson Tobias Growler is truly a
stealth-tone bass.
The DNTBT-18 preamp is powered from 2 9V batteries to create +9V and -9V. This arrangement
allows the preamp to reproduce the lowest bass notes clearly with no attenuation or phase
shifting. The power to the preamp is controlled by an internal switch which senses the ring contact
of the jack to turn on the preamp when the cable plug is inserted.
