John East U-Retro 3-band preamp, 3-knob (NEW, UNUSED) *** WITHDRAWN *** £160

[mcnach]

I bought this U-Retro 01 preamp new a while ago. It is essentially the same as a J-Retro, but with flexible links so that it can be installed in a wide range of basses regardless of their knob layout, not just the Jazz bass spacing. This is designed for basses with 2 pickups.

Easy connect using screw terminals: no soldering. It has 3 concentric dual knobs: volume/blend; bass/treble; mid/frequency selector. In addition it has two switches: a passive/active switch and another that works as a pickup selector switch when in passive mode, or as connects the two pickups in some particular way whose details escape me (it's all in the manual/website )...

I bought it for my Cort GB74, but in the end I decided that I am not a fan of slim-necked basses so I'm probably not keeping the Cort, and I won't bother installing the U-Retro either.

It's never been installed, completely new.

sorry, I forgot to mark this ad.
I have found a new use for it, possibly, so I decided to keep it. Sorry!
