BOTH NOW SOLD: John East U-Retro preamps x 2 £95

[neilmurraybass]

[size=3]For sale: 2 John East U-Retro preamps, one dating from 2003 and the other from 2005, though they are identical. Perfect working order.[/size]

[size=3]£95 each 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 U-RETRO 01 is a universal highly flexible on-board dual input preamp and EQ system. 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 as this can give a subtle difference in sound. A second switch allows some basic passive modes with useful settings too.’[/size]
