Here's a incredible Audere Preamp which you can retro fit into a Jazz Bass.

 

Comes mounted on a jazz bass chrome plate.

 

You can take the knobs off the plate for rear routed instruments.

 

Has a phenomenal selection of tones. Have a read about how it works here - it's quite clever!

Controls:

 

Volume

Blend

Stacked Trebel and Bass

5 way selector switch.

 

Doesn't look like Audere ship to the uk, so this quite a rare beast.

£120 + £8.95 for special delivery to make sure it gets to you.

Cheers 

James

If my jazz bass was routed for this I’d be right on it. Love what these guys are doing with their preamps. Very intelligent twist on a preamp. For me it’s like a mix between John East and a tonestyler.

It's not for me... BUT, it's unquestionably a great innovative piece of kit!

I’ve always wanted an Audere preamp but now I’ve sold all my jazz basses 🤦‍♂️ 

It'll work on rear routed two pick up basses...

These are great preamps.  I have a 4-band Audere in my last remaining fretless ACG bass.

Is your preamp subtly different to the one in the link as I can't see the Z mode micro switch and wonder what the 5-way switch does?

I did some hunting and found a link to the old Audere site with a similar preamp on it here. It has an explanation of what the 6-way switch does. It looks like the one for sale has the knobs on the plate rotated by 180deg with the vol where the 6 way should be @jamesugster?? Looks an interesting preamp and I'd like to try it out but dont have a need at the moment. 😟

Sorry I’ve just seen this. For some reason I don’t get notification.

 

the board has a series of different settings you can adjust with a screw driver, which I assume effected the 5 way switch.

 

i never experimented with there’s and only used on of the settings on the 5 way switch.

 

to be totally transparent the unit wasn’t quite for me because of all the options. I’m not that techie these days!That’s not to say it isn’t a great option. I needed something simpler…. I’ve chosen the same pre as my other basses for consistency… hence the sale.

 

i can take pictures of the dip switches.. if people are seriously interested.
