Got a lefty 605 J just like this, but an Audere preamp.  They are very good instruments . Hefty and very long @thestick did you find a gig bag or case that could accommodate one of these ?

They are great basses though for the money 😊👍

Audere preamp has the ridiculous z switch and with black nylon strings it's a bit of a monster. Would quite like to find a lefty 704 or 705 at some point. Ideally for the price I paid for this which is bodily battered.

Still have the original preamp. 

Are your pickups original or replacements, think 1 of mines weak and they're possibly both a bit ho hum.

Ok cool that makes sense. Sorry to harp on but for battery changes is the original battery box connected or is it now done under the actual preamp in the control cavity?

Hi mate. Any word on this please? Also according to the John East website the last knob is a passive tone control that's active passive switchable. Is your one definitely for the mids? 

[thestick]

Hi Yes the battery is under pre amp 

and yes active/passive switchable

Thanks buddy. So is the last knob a mid switch as you've stated previously or a tone control that works in both active and passive modes? The John East website claims it's the latter 👍

I will check it out tomorrow  and will let you know.

I’m away from home atm
