Best. Preamp. Ever.

Well I suppose it can always be changed back, keep original bits and if it makes the instrument more versatile that can't be bad.

Might make the bass cut through a bit more? As you mentioned a slight issue with that.

Bonus of not having to replace the original treble pot thats suspect too lol. 

I like the sound of the bass as is, it will be interesting though to do back to back comparison. And hear the difference.

I cannot say anything about the East MM-preamp, but I've installed the J-Retro Deluxe in my both Dingwall Super J basses. A most versatile preamp, and I doubt the MM model would be less versatile and well sounding. And - Mr East is the definition of a true gentleman. A pleasure to deal with...
