SidVicious1978 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 where can i get an active and passive preamp for my P/J set up 9 or 18 volt SID Quote
tommorichards Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 You mean active preamp with a passive bypass and maybe a tone control? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 This sounds like a John east j retro or p retro is required Quote
SidVicious1978 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 yeah like the thing Marcus Miller has in his jazz Quote

Stewart Posted May 11, 2011 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
SidVicious1978 Posted May 11, 2011 Author 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

Presumably the 'active blend' doesn't work any more, so how do you mix the pickup outputs? Any tone controls still available? Quote
xilddx Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 You're in London. Take it to the Bass Gallery and get them to sort your electronics to your requirements. [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/workshop.cfm"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/workshop.cfm[/url] Quote

In Passive mode, Vol (obviously) tone and pickup blend all work. Only the active tone stack is disabled. Edited for spelling... Edited May 13, 2011 by woodster Quote
thisnameistaken Posted May 13, 2011 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
lettsguitars Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 you could ask my man ben. [email protected] he'll be on hols next week though. Quote
