tommorichards Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 You mean active preamp with a passive bypass and maybe a tone control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 This sounds like a John east j retro or p retro is required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Bartolinis are all passive-switchable I think - I seem to recall mine was a bit over £100 to import from the States Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidVicious1978 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 i found out MM preamp has two 250K pot master volumes and two 100K for bass and treble so i can turn the two 250K into stack volumes and have a blend with a stack bass/treble plus a on/on mini switch for active/passive Sid anyone see a problem please tell me Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the 'active blend' doesn't work any more, so how do you mix the pickup outputs? Any tone controls still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 You're in London. Take it to the Bass Gallery and get them to sort your electronics to your requirements.

In Passive mode, Vol (obviously) tone and pickup blend all work. Only the active tone stack is disabled. Edited for spelling...

thisnameistaken Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Cheers for the reply, that sounds encouraging. Does anyone know which controls work on the J-Retro in passive mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
