SOLD. John East J Retro 01 Jazz bass on board preamp. £150

[vinorange]

Fantastic jazz bass preamp, 6 years old looking at the serial number but never seen much action and in perfect working order. Features solderless hook up, volume / blend stack pot, bass / treble stack pot, mid frequency sweep / boost stack pot, bright function (push / pull treble pot), passive blend switch and passive bypass switch. Also has trim pots under the hood to perfectly blend your pickups.

Heres what the East website says;

The J-RETRO 01 is designed to fit directly into standard "Jazz" style basses without modification, including a PP3 battery, in most cases. 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.

A very gentle built in contour gives immediate colour without detracting from the basic sound of any bass.

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, and this mode allows some useful settings too.

EASY TO FIT, NO ROUTING OR MODS TO MOST J STYLE BASSES.

A STANDARD PP3 BATTERY FITS UNDER THE PLATE IN THE STANDARD CAVITY
