BUMP

Up for sale is a 2012 John East J Retro 01 preamp taken from a seldom used project bass that is now down for stripping / parts. A superb preamp enlivening any jazz style bass and giving huge tonal palette, the retro 01 is a drop in active preamp as a direct replacement for the standard passive control plate. Some basses may need a touch of routing to provide enough space for the circuit board. It has 3 stacked knobs and 2 micro switches, knob one controlling volume and pickup blend, pot 2 bass /treble cut / boost and pot 3 mid frequency selection / mid cut or boost. The micro switch near the jack is a passive bypass and the switch near the neck end is a blend control for perfect passive mix or blend control using the blend pot. This has been in a backup bass and has seen light use despite being from 2012. Will post anywhere! Thanks for looking.

Hi. Am going to send a PM. Vin

Have a free bump for the greatest 210 combo ever made. Amazing tone and brilliantly tuned cabinets.

Hi did you get rid of the eden preamp? Cheers vin

Please accept an apologetic BUMP from me.

Bump. £1100; plus postage. I'll post it anywhere. I can also deliver within 50 mile radius of Chester.

Hi Nik. PM sent. could you send me details? Ta vin

PMd Hopefully for the last time......

Thanks for that and sorry if I appeared to cast doubt on the quality of your amp. I guess once bitten twice shy sometimes. The tech I had look at mine reckoned that the cooling circuit was underpowered for the bridged mode capability but as you say maybe the 2x10 red eye combo wasn't their best........ I was thinking of teaming an Eden Navigator preamp with a power amp. I run into a purple chilli 800w 4 ohm cab. Do you think the Carvin would suit the job? Thanks

PM in the inbox again....

Hi. Being carvin do you have any reliability issues? Particularly when bridged? I had a red eye combo that overheated in bridged mode. Thanks Vin

PMd again. .

PMd again....

Bump for a big price drop to £1100.

Thank you. It's a fine bass and plays like a dream. Shame I need to let it go but if I'm not playing I can't justify keeping such an expensive bass.......

Weekend bump

Bump. Part exchange for cheaper jazz bass considered.

Sunday bump

Fancy a modulus vj4 with East preamp upgrade? Mines up at £1250 but I have long fancied a thunderbird but can't bring myself to own an epiphone. ....

Bump. £1250 for an amazing bass.
