I got one of these for my Japanese 62-style Jazz bass, it preserves the original pickup sound very well but gives more tone shaping which I need. Really nice product, highly recommend

Randy Hope Taylor is in my top 5 on bass.

BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!

Please anyone can tell what are the main differences between RETRO and UNI ? (in terms of sound) thanks!

I don't buy into the FAN IDOL worldly stuff, but Randy your works with INCOGNITO ARE UNDER-RATED !! IT'S BEEN A JOY LISTENING TO YOU ,AND INCOGNITO over the Years !!

If I want to sound only passive, can I do it without connecting the battery?

Thank you for confirming that passive jazz basses sound freaking amazing.

Great demo, great bassist.

Thanks very much, boys

Greetings from South Korea. I watched this video with a great impression cause I'm deeply interested modifying my Sire V5 bass. I wonder if it's possible to install John East J-Retro Deluxe in my V5. I don't have the original John East knobs/control plate....All I can get is the preamp circuit(We don't have a John East dealer in Korea, so I had to find a second-handed one from a shop). The shop owner said he has a 5-hole jazz bass control plate and can send it together with the preamp. I'm sorry that I only gave you the explanation in written words. Should I have to pay extra money to make a jack pot route? Or Is the circuit enough to cram everything in the hollow inside the control plate? Thank you for all of your useful videos and preamps.

Hello. I installed the J Retro. Sounds amazing, but I’m have a lot of noise. I fallowed the installation. On the grounds, I put 2 cables on one hole and 1 in the other. Any suggestions? Thank you

Yo man, that’s a funky sound. I have the same bass, Fender Marcus Miller 5 string. My bass doesn’t have that particular tone. Besides your thumb was the secret. PEACE!

Saw this guy w Jeff Beck blew me away!!! This dude's fierce !! 💥

I would like know who did the bass to Jacob’s Ladder from Incognito’s “100 and Rising”

Damn SKIPPY Boi.....you sound Great brother , I'm about to order that pre amp !!!!!!

Would have loved hearing it.

Hi,can be installed on basses with passive pickups?

I love your preamps .. I have two Fender equipped.. I need a Uni Preamp for my custom KSD .. Thank John

I have this same bass in black. I need this preamp! :)

What preamp is he messing with? The MMSR? I’ve been waiting one of them real bad!

Do you ship to every country?

I'M SOLD...

So I'm kinda confused I thought you had to have active pickup to have a preamp so am I wrong cause I've got a 5 string fender jazz bass with bartolini pickups in it so will this preamp pare with this ?

Dave's insight is invaluable!

this sounds sweet

Q

Does this mean my Moon Randy Hope Taylor model is obsolete?

Please how can I order for this to be shipped to Nigeria and how much does it cost?? And secondly can this be done on all passive jazz bass with this setup?Thank you sir

Thanks for the comparison . Very clear 👍

Does he use East preamps?

is THIS A SIGNATURE PRE? wHERE cOULD ONE PURCHASE THE SAME PRE?

Nice to see Mark Ruffalo playing the bass

You know the preamp is good when the owner of the company has an oscilloscope permanently attached to his desk.

This sounds great !

I love your channel surely I will purchase one for my bass 🐵👌

Is this Greg Davies taxi driver?

Can you do one for music man 4 string sterling sub/stingray

Mr. East, you’re pre amps are by far the best that I have used. And I have been through a lot of different brands. You get what you pay for. Not to mention your customer service is top notch! All the best! 👍✌️

Would love to see the Fender Marcus Miller bass onboard being replaced ..the thought of soldering fills me with dread but I’d love to replace mine.

Had a John East preamp fitted best results ever very high quality conponants get what you pay for

When are the p-retros coming back??????????

Hi John I just bought a G+L JB and hoping everything fits. I have your kit in a Marcus Miller which truly transformed that instrument into my main bass. Hopeful I as happy with a lower budget bass so I can have a back up to Marcus. Should this pre amp and the one I have now sound similar all else being equal. PS I work with Terry Murphy from your Oxford days. Best Rob

Best by far, shame he thinks the World is right handed.

One other question, I have a Schecter Rob DeLeo Model-T with PJ configuration. I would luv to put one of your modded control plates in it. I didn't see one that would fit on your website.

Hello John, thank you so much for your informative mod videos relating to your gear. I am putting this particular JE solderless control plate in my '68 Jazz( I bought new in '69). Keep them coming.

The lil old British bass electronics genius takes on the the American giants.. and wins.. Yay..!!!!

Randy Hope Taylor sound is underrated, I first heard of him from Incognito in the 90s he was always a favorite bass player of mine just one of most underrated players.

I have a Squier Classic Vibe 70s 2019 and I could do the installation just like John explains it here. The preamp is fantastic!! I recorded the process here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6-Khpp7md_cYIE.html

The best preamps ever¡¡¡
