Roland SIP-301 Bass Guitar Pre-Amp

Nice example of Roland's classic bass pre-amp/compressor, the SIP-301.

It is in excellent working order and sounds fantastic. Condition is very good with the usual scuffs and dings. Click on the photos to zoom in and see more shots.

• It is a 100v Japanese model and will run fine on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use.
• A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU.
• We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.

There are no known operational faults with this unit.

(Please note: it is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during a short delivery period - this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with a bit of switch-cleaning spray).
