Well played Alex, and good you see you dressed the part for it! I've been listening to 'On land and in the sea' pretty much non-stop for the last two weeks, so many time changes in each song - what a tight band.
Thanks Kevsy, glad you liked it. Yep it took me a while to work the time changes. I’ve been watching the Maresnest live vid recently. It’s amazing how tight they are.
RIP Tim Smith
This took me ages to get right.

Hope you like it.

P.S. yes I attempted the outfit
Thanks!
Yea I know what you mean about the comic book effect. Part of the fretboard washout was due to me playing in front of a window on a sunny day. There seems to be a lot of laquer on the maple board too which catches the light.
I’m new to this whole bass cover thing but I’ve got quite in to doing it during lockdown. Here’s my version of ‘Borderline’ by Madonna.
2010 Fender USA jazz bass with Kiogon VVT + Series/Parallel switch. I had it in series mode for this. DI’d via Sansamp bass driver
I got one of these second hand in the end. Really happy with it
Seems to do a great job of focusing the sound of my jazz bass. More so than any preamp pedal I’ve used.
Hi Patrick,
im very interested, could you measure the distance between the centre of the screw holes please so I can check it’ll fit my bass please?
Alex
Sorry to revive an old thread. Do these preamps work with passive pickups?I’m considering the J Retro 01 for my squire classic vibe jazz bass that has the factory passive pickups in it.
Worst case scenario a Bassoon or Trombone part may suffice if there are spares in the pack.
They quite often double the bass line and octave higher. Ive had to resort to this a few times when both the string bass and tuba parts are missing
