[quote name='artisan' post='208830' date='May 29 2008, 01:33 PM']cheers Chris i must admit before i put that j-retro into your jazz i was going to fit a pair of wizard 84's & a stacked knob control plate.[/quote] yeah the 84's and the stack knob plate are what ive got on my frankenstein jazz and it works really well! it seems really hard to find a control plate anywhere

[quote name='artisan' post='208257' date='May 28 2008, 06:14 PM'] damn right it was mate. hope your still enjoying it.[/quote] too right i am!! its awesome! thinking of changing it back to passive now, the passive sound seems to work better with my amp for some reason? your basses look lovely by the way!

[quote name='artisan' post='206613' date='May 26 2008, 03:57 PM']no stripe on the back of the neck just a lovely gloss finish & about the same weight as my recently departed MIA jazz[/quote] and what a lovely jazz that was

thats a sweet, sweet ray!! best ive ever played nice pics man

Can make a good passive Jbass straight into a Marcus /Will Lee/ Vic Bailey soundalike...and you don't have to put circuitry and 9Vs into the bass. I normally prefer Fenders passive (with nickel rounds or flats) but sometimes you just need that active slam... BB[/quote] yeah i am starting to wish i'd kept hold of my sadowsky outboard pre! even my j retro is starting to sound a bit too artificial! maybe its since i got my new aguilar cab and started using my mesa head again......everything has got a hell of a lot clearer! i had been playin through a crappy little combo which you couldn't really tell what was good or bad! lol
