[/quote] Your question is rather too vague. What do you really want to know mate? Also, what is the current control layout on your Jazz 5er?

RichF Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) John's website makes clear that on the j retro there's a 12db mid boost/cut available on a variable frequency ranged between 150hz and 3khz. [url="http://www.east-uk.com/"]http://www.east-uk.com/[/url] I have the slightly tweaked Marcus retro which has slightly altered frequency parameters, though not on mids (I think?). It's a massively powerful tool - you can really hit the sweet spot on the mids and I find myself learning more and more about sound options of my Jazz and making use of what for some is maybe too much control?

xilddx Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 All the info one needs is on his website. you can always call John and he'll be an absolute gent and tell you all you need to know to make a choice. They sound incredible and totally transform the limited Jazz bass electronics with no body mods and only one solder joint required. BUT you also retain the original tone in passive mode. I have loved the East pres I've had, they are incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
