\"j-retro\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ordinarily when looking to replace a Jazz Bass preamplification control set, certain products will be described as being a true drop-in, but few actually deliver 100% on that promise. And then after dropping in the new preamp, you don’t notice too much advantage tone-wise compared to what you had.<\/p>\n

What makes John East preamps<\/a><\/strong> better are three things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. True drop-in<\/li>\n
  2. Massive tonal advantages<\/li>\n
  3. Designed by a man who knwos audio backwards and forwards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Building or retrofitting a J-bass? You might as well do it right the first time<\/h3>\n

    I’d be lying if I said there weren’t cheaper preamp sets out there, because there are. But what the cheaper preamp descriptions don’t tell you are the hassles you’ll encounter.<\/p>\n

    The hassles I speak of are cheaper preamps that, quite literally, aren’t complete. With the J Retro series, everything you need is in the box. With others, you really can’t say that; this goes back to what counts as a true drop-in and what doesn’t. Sure, you could buy a cheaper preamp, but the additional time and money spent to get in the stuff missed by the cheaper option will ultimately cost you what you would have paid for a J Retro – if not more.<\/p>\n

    Yes, the J Retro series costs more. But you’re getting everything you need along with what is arguably the easiest installation process. Is that worth the extra cash? You bet it is.<\/p>\n
