neilmurraybass Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) [size=3]For Sale: John East J-Retro preamp, dating from 2008. Perfect working order.[/size] [size=3]£100 plus postage[/size] [size=3]John’s preamps sound great and are totally reliable but nowadays I tend to prefer fewer options.[/size] [size=3]I have redone the battery and output socket connections as the original wiring was retained for the replacement circuits. [/size] [size=3]‘The J-RETRO 01 is designed to fit directly into standard "Jazz" style basses without modification,including a PP3 battery. Its high quality circuit uses three stacked knobs and includes an active blend circuit plus a 3 band equaliser with bass, variable frequency mid, treble and bright function. The active blend circuit prevents the loss associated with many passive basses where, when both pickups are up full, the signal from one pickup feeds into the other and vice versa. However,a switch is included to allow a passive equal mix of both pickups. A second switch-basic "get-you-out-of-trouble" passive mode is included in case the battery dies in crucial circumstances, but this mode allows useable settings too.’[/size] [size=3]More info:[/size] [size=3][url="http://www.east-uk.com/pdf/jretro01.pdf"]http://www.east-uk.c...df/jretro01.pdf[/url][/size] [size=3][url="https://flic.kr/p/wssKkZ"]https://flic.kr/p/wssKkZ[/url][/size] [size=3][url="https://flic.kr/p/wssHtx"]https://flic.kr/p/wssHtx[/url][/size] [size=3][url="https://flic.kr/p/wssJw4"]https://flic.kr/p/wssJw4[/url][/size] [size=3][url="https://flic.kr/p/vMW5L7"]https://flic.kr/p/vMW5L7[/url][/size] [size=3]From John East website: [/size] [size=3]Above: [url="https://flic.kr/p/wskkP3"]https://flic.kr/p/wskkP3[/url][/size] [size=3]Underside: [url="https://flic.kr/p/wJXgGz"]https://flic.kr/p/wJXgGz[/url][/size] [size=3]I am selling 5 John East preamps: 2 x ACG EQ01 preamps; 2 x U-Retro 01 preamps and 1 x J-Retro preamp. please see individual posts for more details.[/size] Edited August 1, 2015 by neilmurraybass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
