description The design of the photomultiplier bases for the surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory is presented. The bleeder is purely resistive. The base comprises two outputs: one from the anode and another one from the last dynode followed by an amplifier. The charge ratio between the anode and the amplified dynode is around 30. The design ensures a low consumption (less than 100 mu A at 2 kV), a stability of the gain and of the base line during the whole period of measurement (20 mu s per event) and for the whole dynamic range (max. 1 to 3x10^4 in amplitude). First measurement with a prototype base on the Hamamatsu R5912 photomultiplier tube are presented.
