Hutton Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Has anyone any knowledge of what difference a John East Preamp will make to a Lakland DJ4. I'm thinking about the upgrade. Many thanks. Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 It'll give you more options than you know what to do with and will sound awesome. Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Got a J retro and was astounded at the difference it made, well worth the dosh and I got to meet John as well. A perfect gent, very knowledgeable and makes very nice coffee! I would say go for it! Quote
mcnach Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I have used a J-Retro in a jazz and it's like day and night. It's still a Jazz, but HUGE. I installed a DJ-Retro in haimesy's Lakland not long ago. Search for him in the forum and ask him about it. The bass sounded good before, but it really came alive with the preamp. He still sends me mesages from time to time saying how much he loves it... so I guess he agrees Quote
Mark_ii Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I have one in a marcus miller jazz and I can tell you ..... it's awesome. So versatile, delivers a huge array of top class sounds. Well well worth the money, you won't be sorry. Quote
Hutton Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies chaps. Looks like a good move! Quote

Hutton Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) You're a gentleman Nige. If I needed icing on the cake then you have just provided it. I've saved the clips to my favourites for reference. Many Thanks! BTW, nice playing. Edited September 16, 2011 by Hutton Quote
