CamdenRob Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've had this Peterbuilt Jazz for a couple of years now (essentially an Allparts build with a custom finish). It started it's life fretless but I have a Wal fretless six due imminently so rather than have it collecting dust I thought I'd drop it into The Gallery for fretting and a J-Retro. Very pleased with the results The J-Retro and the DiMarzio 123s seem a good match. Bass sounds as it did in passive mode but has loads of extra punch and sparkle available in active mode.

mark76 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 What do the other pair of stacked knobs and the two mini toggles do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treb Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Wonderful piece of bass gear by John East (www.east-uk.com). I have a DJ-Retro in my Lakland DJ4 which is the same preamp on a curved plate. Check out his stuff. Highly recommended!

project_c Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Love the yellow. Not everyone's cup of tea, I'm sure, but I love that colour on a bass, especially with the cream covers and guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Above all it is very very yellow... it was even brighter when I first got it but it's mellowed a little over the last couple of years. Peter has a great eye for detail though, most of his stuff is old car colours. Edited May 27, 2017 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 That's a beaut. +1 on the JE's, they can go very very subtle and organic to very punchy. How are the top markers on the neck, are they on the notes or center fret? No probs anyway now it's fretted but just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The edge markers are centre of fret fortunately, It was lined fretless before, just looks like a normal fretted bass now I considered getting blocks put in as well but thought I'd just get these bits done to start with.

Highfox Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 That would take it to another level, always like blocks on Jazz's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
