chilievans Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi guys, with christmas approaching and being a big kid, I've started to wonder what the wife should get me. Last year it was a Shuker Jazz and for this year I'd like to get a preamp for it to make it the ultimate do anything Jazz I've narrowed it down too two John East j retro and an ACG EQ02 Is there any one who has had any experience with these who could give me some advice on sounds and installation Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73Jazz Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just take the yamaha ne-1 outboard "pedal", the best sounding jazzbass accessory you will find..and it is cheap..so your wife will be happy as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 What style of stuff are you looking at playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 And how quick do you want to be able to dial in sounds? One thing I will say about the ACG is it takes a while to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilievans Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I like the funky stuff and rock music mainly mate but I'll.have a go at anything really I dont mind having to learn how it works as long as its good :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It might be worth seeing if there are any ACG's anywhere near you. You can get pretty much any sound out of the pre-amp once you know how it all works together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilievans Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Good idea. Whats the difference between the acg and John East? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The ACG is filter based (Although IIRC it's made by John East aswell ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
