BB2000 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Oh, sod ebay. £95 plus delivery. Is the audere out of fashion this month - have I been guilty of the bassist's equivalent of wearing flared jeans and an afro hairdo by using one?

If it has an advantage over the J-Retro it's the preset switches which allow you to switch from, for example, a quite funky jazzy tone to a classic 60's thump with one click. It really suits players in function/covers/tribute bands who might need to move between different bass sounds in a very short time with no messing about or guesswork. Should add that John's a 100% top guy to deal with folks so you can buy this with confidence Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 For what it's worth I actually prefer the Audere to the J-Retro, having owned 2 DJ5's with each of them in. Awesome pre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome pre![/quote] Same here. My J-Retro lasted less than a week in my Jazz before I sold it. I thought the Audere would probably go the same way, but I've been very pleased with it (selling it now since I sold my jazz bass the other week). Having said that, I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't like J-Retro, other than it was an audio issue other than an operational one.
