Great bass, very flexible sound wise with the East preamp, sweepable mids so you can pinpoint the sweet spot(s).

 

Would prefer collection, can meet up in Dorset/Devon/Somerset.

Otherwise can be boxed if you arrange a courier.

 

Cheers,

 

Simon

I've got the same John East pre in my EBMM short scale. Hands down the most intuitive and just plain useful pre-amp of any bass I've ever played. Find your sweet spot with the mid sweep, and then just takes a touch of mid cut or boost to either pull the bass right back into the mix or push the poke right out forward front and centre. So instantly versatile!  GLWTS!

I have that preamp in my recently acquired Marusczszyk Caspar 5...haven't got a clue what the controls do and the information on the website isn't much help. 

 

Really need to sit down with the instructions and figure it out.

As far as these things go it's pretty straightforward 😊

 

- Knob closest to neck is Volume.

 

- Centre stacked knobs are Treble cut/boost (upper) and Bass cut/boost (lower).

 

- Stacked knobs closest to the bridge are Mid cut/boost (upper) and Mid Frequency sweep (lower).

 

You can also pull up the Treble pot for an instant bright boost

 

One of the great things about this preamp is that if 3 bands and sweepable mids all seems like a bit of an overcomplicated faff,  then it can also essentially function just as a 2 band, simply by leaving the Mid boost pot on the centre detente. In this position, the effect on the mids is completely neutral so the Mid sweep knob has no effect on the sound, and you can then ignore the knobs closest to the bridge altogether if you wish.

Apologies for the derail, but as it looks like you have the original circuit, if you fancy selling your East MMSR preamp separately please drop me a PM 👍
