...we call him "Little Mark" so he now looks better with smaller ears ;-)

If you go to the link I placed above, there's a pdf you can download/peruse to show you how to wire/control the preamp - although I'm pretty sure the whole idea for the P-Retro is the single/split P-type pick-up. Hope that helps, Shaun

Hey Chris, All great around these 'ere parts - hope you and yours are good too. 'Tis truly a great preamp, but no bites at the cherry as yet... cheers SB

SOLD I do prefer a Jazz bass, so here's my very little used P-Retro with the chrome vintage knobs for sale - £150.00 shipped - cost £195.00 new in January, so still has plenty of warranty. This is the new version with screw connectors (no soldering) and a rechargeable battery with a jack directly through the jack socket on the bass... and a natty little LED that tells you when the battery is charged. Info here <[url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/p-retro.html"]link[/url]> ...any other info, ask away. cheersShaun

...won't ever use 'em so [s]£15.00[/s] £12.00 shipped within the good 'ole UK. [attachment=163053:ears.jpg]

monsterbassman > Just had a nightmare (selling a mixing desk and case through here) with MyHermes - (Parcel2Go) - they managed to actually crack and hole the ABS case, shear off and break the front hinges - and all this inside a thick cardboard box - but have to say after much to-ing and fro-ing Parcel2Go did pay up as I had insured it... so that's a "no" for MyHermes. No interest in a P-bass, ta. Good luck, SB

Lots of praise, a bit of interest, but still-for-sale-type-bump...

[size=4]£1,000 + p+p - No trades[/size] [size=4]I have to free up some dosh for a new project - so my Finn is very reluctantly up for sale. Very good condition.[/size] [size=4]I bought it from bobpalt, who had the bass built as a custom order. [/size] [size=4]Since then it has been over to John East who fitted a U-Retro (from John: "a variation on a U-Retro 4 Knob Deluxe in order to take care of the piezo. A piezo circuit would be required, which includes a piezo/mag mixer circuit.") The U-Retro was £217.50 and the Piezo/Mab Circuit and mods an further £37.50.[/size] [size=4]This has certainly brought a fantastic dimension to the bass, but, being a simpleton, still way too much technology for this bass-numpty, who loves a simple life (well a J and P-bass with East pre-amps)... it's just a lovely piece of furniture these days :-([/size] [size=4]From Bob's sale thread: "It's an unbelievably good bass, one of Alan's best I think (and it was much praised at a Moffat bass bash a while back), having the benefit of a powerful RFB pickup and a Hipshot piezo bridge, so you can get a phenomenal range of tones and blended sounds. In addition, there are [b]SIMs amber leds[/b] fitted to the neck, which were then wired up by Alan ([u]not[/u] after market additions). The body is light Swamp Ash, with a 4mm Wenge accent, and an Okoume top, and the neck (which is asymmetrical) is 3 laminates of flamed maple, with a fabulous acrylic impregnated flamed lava Bubinga fingerboard. Strap locks, gloss finish and all black hardware complete the picture."[/size] [size=4]An awesome bass... which comes with a Hiscox hard case.
