There's always the classic:

Then let her try it at a rehearsal, and when she messes it up try not to look smug as you wait for the apology. I'd have told them to do one by now so you're more patient than I am.

Noticeably? Possibly. Significantly? Probably not.

If you turn the volume up both cabs will get louder though.

Very slow. I've been watching something fail to sell on eBay despite the owner chain-auctioning it (i.e. as soon as it fails to sell because it hasn't met his reserve price it immediately goes back up at the same starting price and same reserve)

Agreed, it's not the prettiest but it's far from the ugliest, and when I'm playing I don't care what it looks like as I'm not looking at it

All that does is convert the non-VTC preamp to the VTC preamp. There aren't different versions of the preamp for JJ and PJ pickup configurations, which was the original question.

Indeed. It's a pretty simple install if you're putting it in a Sadowsky bass.

There's just the one: https://www.thomann.de/gb/sadowsky_onboard_bass_preamp.htm

Really? I put up a message in the wanted section and had two messages within minutes.

Do you not have an artistic friend you could slip a few quid to to knock one up? This sort of thing has a "thin end of the wedge" vibe about it.

The easiest way is to buy heavier gauge strings

Sandberg have something similar as well: https://configurator.sandberg-guitars.de/

You can spend many a happy hour on their site just tinkering. Well, happy unless you know you're a long way off being able to buy your creation that is.

For fun and frolics, maybe more

Or the people who advertise for other people when they're putting themselves out there. So many bass players seeking other bass players!

That does appear to be a major design flaw

You can, but for physical items I think you need a US address - I've bought from them before and had it delivered to my MIL's house when my wife was visiting last year. For digital items I don't think the address thing matters.

I believe it's the pickups that are hot, with the preamp lacking headroom to deal with them.

Travis have done a fun version of this with Mark and Lard so it definitely can work in this format.

Took the Siredowsky out for its first run out this afternoon and it performed admirably, I even had to turn down my Elf to accommodate it because I was, in the words of our singist, loud as fück. Despite that I struggled to hear myself at a few points, which I attribute to still having lasting after effects of this cold on top of being stood right in front of a PA speaker. Our keyboardist is going to have to buy himself a new keyboard and a case for it because his pitch shifter has gone rogue and keep sending him out of tune, which can be attributed to it living in his car with no protection, so it's a bit bashed about. Two Tribes is coming along as we have the core elements sorted, with just some timing and arrangement tweaks required. We've binned Boys Don't Cry, and a very rough run through of Mr Brightside showed some promise. Now home to die in a corner. Pushed myself and regretting it, so thank goodness I'm signed off for another couple of days.

She's really good about spelling out exactly what she has to go through to do what she does, and while sometimes it looks really glamorous and she gets loads of nice guitars, she's clearly very canny.

These two just chatting and jamming. Nuff said.

Current progress with Two Tribes as well as a demo of the Sadowsky preamp now installed in the Sire. For those interested this is both pickups, tone 100%, bass boosted to about 25% and treble to 50%. I'm also in drop D tuning.
