Bass Wielder Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I though I'd start it. I'll introduce my 'other family'. ACG Finn Classic singlecut with Armstrong's. Modulus Q5W fretted with U-Retro and Nordstrand's. Modulus Q6 fretted with U-Retro and Bartolini's Modulus Q5 fretless with U-Retro and Bartolini's Steinberger Synapse with U-retro and EMG. I also use the BLI unit (to let me know when the batteries are going down), and the STMP-01 Stomp box (with passive basses, double basses or to set up another tone to switch in when needed). * Feel free to contact me for opinions, experiences and general thoughts on them.* Who's next???

[/quote] Wow, love your Modulus's or is it Modulii . I gotta Q6, that funnily enough I'm about to fit an East U-retro to replace the Aguilar OBP3. I've been discussing having a custom U-retro made with just the one switch to save drilling another hole. Quote
LukeFRC Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I've an ACG preamp in my warwick.... made by East of course Quote

[/quote] Ha! Like that thanks:-) Re switch: you can have the active/passive on the passive tone pot. Or even on the volume pot I think. Definitely possible. Or just leave the provided switches in the cavity, switched in way you want . That way if you want to put the pre-amp on another bass or decide I drill, they are there.....

Makes me think about ordering something from them, but I can't see it in their catalog ... I guess they'd do another one ? Quote
apa Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) My two Easts On the right is Annie a Jazz bitsa with J-Retro and Wizard 64's. on the left is Lucie a very modded Squier VM 5 string with a bespoke U-Retro and MPM 01 Piezo which lets you blend them together or not. John was a great help and very patient sorting this one. It has Bespoke Wizard 74 pickups in.

Bass Wielder Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Nice stuff guys! Keep 'em coming...... Quote
skelf Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Every bass I have made has an East pre-amp in it. Either one of the East ones or my own filter pre-amps designed and built by John. Even the passive basses have his work in them,he makes up my passive set up as well. So it is fair to say I am a fan of his work. Quote

They built one for Trevor Barry from the 'Strictly' BBC show and one for me. Speak to the boys, they'll sort it out for you Edited March 22, 2014 by woodster Quote
