Ah well' l thanks for your insightfull reply i guess its the old adage' there is nothing new under the sun....joking aside i didnt expect these ( New to the market preamps to be anything revelationary) for myself as my above script John East's brilliant preamps are still @ the highest standard for replacement & upgrading a Jazz Bass. Interestingly these T.F preamps are for j basses with 'Body Routed' output jacks only....as is the Sadowsky preamp also.... dissapointing that....?

I own the wonderfull JOHN EAST replacement J RETRO & J TONE preamps ( Seventeen years for J Retro) & Six for the J TONE.... Has anyone bought or demo'd these new Trickfish J Core Bass preamps....if so we are more than interested in your thoughts & findings..? i am lead to believe that they are the latest incarnation of the Mike Pope preamp..? Plus extra modification...?

Excellent features that interact very well indeed' multitude of synthy sounds both analogue & poly... phaser' fuzz if thats your bag... i will keep on experimenting with its sonic palate.

DSM & HUMBOLT SIMPLIFIER PREAMP BASS STATION... Cab sim's & blending & Ampeg SVT modeled analogue bass preamp ....with a myriad of routing options...Twin effect loops Twin DI's COMPLEX but rewarding.

GP Lightstone TubeBass 2 Twin Valve Preamp (Handmade in Germany) Twin Channel...Green/ Clean Red/ Saturation... Four Band Tonestack Controls... Pre & Master Volume Controls.

EBS Valvedrive will give you what you crave & something extra....the downside is its quite a bulky pedal with 12v input....

Ive been using the Cali 76 for years now & ive stopped Squeezing the sound so much...( & i thought i was being moderate with it) i dont play @ high volume...but if you can hear it as they correctly put it Your using too much!!!

Nordstrand Nj4 SV or SE....

Take it Out' Put it all back in' Then take it out again' F#%! this & F%#! that....& just when you think youv'e cracked it.....Yes' take it all out again!!!!!🤔😉😵‍💫
