[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1381220735' post='2235831'] ... The 3-knob, from my own personal experience doesnt sound any different to the 2-knob, and there's no reason why it would. Everything is the same, the difference is how the tone and volume are controlled. [/quote] The reason why they sound different are the resistors behind the controls which the signals must pass before going to the output jack. The resistors were thrown into the chain to make the pickup controls independent from each other, but they eat a bit of the signal's life and loudness. The newer AV and Custom Shop layouts of the stack knob config are simply different and therefore not a reference to the old original ones. Another famous player who swapped the concentric config on his original 60 Jazz Basses with a 3-knob is Bobby Vega - because of the better sound, not the easier handling. With all respect - John Entwistle was a GREAT player and collector, yet not a Jazz Bass player primarily. Just my 2c and your mileage may vary...

Seems to be the sister of my 62 slab board / 3 knob JB, which was offered by Elderly at the same time - very likely as a consignment from the same source. I owned and compared >100 high end basses with mine and none of them was on par with its organic sound - which is not really grand piano like, yet full of life and character. I fully agree with Rick how outstanding this special run of Fenders is. Albert Molinari, who knows everything about the Fender basses of that time, once said: [font="Helvetica"][size="3"][color="#0000da"][color=#0000da]"FIRST Jazz basses and Prototypes had 3 KNOBS and Larger Pickups too, they decided shortly after production began to go Back to the 3 Knob version, they Decided it SOUNDED better - and it DOES!"[/color][/color][/size][/font] It has its reason why a lot of the famous JB players of that time including Jaco, JPJ, Leo Lyons and many others preferred the 3-knobbers with a slab board over all other models. Congrats to the owners - both the current and the next one. From my point of view the top of the cream of the hall of fame of all basses of all the time ... Good luck with the sale - although you won't need it.

I'm quite surprised that there is ZERO interest in these worldclass and discontinued preamps.

No interest ? Fantastic preamp !

Selling a like new John East J-Retro including JB-Control Plate and 3 black stacked knobs. This came to me installed in a Fodera bass.
