Warwick Alien Acoustic Bass / Alien Acoustic 6-string / Rockbass Alien Deluxe 6-string Bass

Pickups: Fishman Acoustic Matrix  

Electronics: Fishman Prefix Plus-T 

1) Notch  Filter:  This  is  a  fixed-level,  variable-frequency  filter  for  eliminating  feedback  or  unwanted  resonance.The  affected 

frequency is variable from 40 to 500 Hz. The Notch Filter is effectively turned off in the full counterclockwise position.

2)   Low battery indicator

3)   Volume Control: Controls the overall gain of the Prefix Plus-T™.

4)   Bass Control: This is a boost / cut shelving tone control for low frequencies.

5)   Contour: This is a wide-range semi-parametric filter. It is used to selectively shape the instrument’s tone. The Contour Level 

slider  controls  the  amount  of  boost  or  cut  applied  to  the  selected  contour  frequency.  The  Contour  Frequency  slider 

determines  the  frequency  band  that  is  boosted  or  cut  by  the  Contour  Level  control.  The  frequency  is  variable  from  250 

to 10 kHz.

6)   Treble Control: This is a boost / cut shelving tone control for high frequencies.

7)   Brilliance Control: This is a resonant-style boost / cut filter that adds presence to the sound. 

8)    Phase  Switch:  The  Phase  Switch  compensates  for  acoustic  phase  differences  that  often  occur  between  instrument  and 

speaker.  It  can  be  used  as  a  tone  filter  at  low  volume  levels  or  as  a  feedback  filter  at  high  levels.  The  Phase  Switch  can 

correct any electrical phase difference between the Prefix™ system and an outboard instrument microphone. Flip the Phase 

Switch  several  times  and  use  your  ear  to  find  the  optimum  setting.  The  best  position  for  the  Phase  Switch  may  change 

depending on the sound system and/or venue acoustics.

9)  Contour Frequency: You can scoop out harsh midrange by setting the Contour Frequency slider slightly above center with 

the Contour level cut to taste below the center detent. You can also cut midrange by boosting the Bass and Treble sliders to 

realize an “implied” mid cut at 800 Hz.

10) Tuner: The preamp also has a built in chromatic tuner. The display shows the note actually played. The LEDs beneath the 

display indicate whether the note is flat (lower red LED), sharp (upper red LED) or in tune (green LED in the middle). When

the tuner is activated, the sound is muted. The tuner is in true bypass mode when deactivated.
