Trace Elliot MP11 (MM Sep 87)

muzines.co.uk

The Trace Elliot MP11 is a programmable pre-amp that dazzles with its ability to save and switch between different EQ settings at a whim, making it a bassist's dream for live performances. With ten built-in presets designed for bass players' preferred sounds and the option to store your own, its adaptability is a major selling point. However, at a steep price of £1075 with the footswitch, it's a significant investment compared to the non-programmable GP11. Minor gripes include slightly insensitive controls and the costly nature of the setup, but it remains a desirable piece of kit for those willing to pay for top-notch technology.

Listed among Fisher's gear in the May 1991 Musician interview "Fishbone Swims Upstream To Spawn Its Punk-Funk Hybrid" by Roy Trakin.

JOHN NORWOOD FISHER plays a Warwick thumb bass with a bubinga and wengewood body, a fretless Fender bass and an Alembic bass, with Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, through an EBS-1 preamp and a Trace Elliot MP-11 mini-programmable preamp and an Eventide H-3000 SE Ultra-Harmonizer. with a Rockman Mini-Octopus for the switching. He also uses EPS-600 and Trace Elliot RA-500 SuperX power amps and two SWR Goliath speakers. In addition, live he uses a Musictronics Mu-Tron 3 envelope filter/effects box, which "gives him a bow-wow bass sound just like Bootsy Collins."
