Are you sure? There's one at ebay with an identical plate. Take a peek:

Anyways, I'm seriously considering swapping the pre-amp. What would you people recommend for me?
I'm looking for Vol/Pan, Bass/Treble, Low Mid/High Mid. Should I just contact John East, or any other manufacturers anyone might recommend?
If anyone is familiar with the material of the body the bass has, I would like to know if it's possible to drill a hole to the side of the bass for the jack?
This way I could have a J-Retro 01 Deluxe fitted, which has four knobs; Tone, Mid/Mid, Bass/Treble, Vol/Blend. This is exactly what I'm looking for spec-wise.
