This is a search-engine-friendly text mirror of the TalkBass Forums kirkm24 02-21-2009, 10:50 AM I put in a John East preamp on my Marcus Miller and like it a lot. However, curiosity has got the best of me and I have been looking at the Aguilar preamps. Has anyone used either of these preamps as to be able to compare their characteristics?

But, If I were going to add a Pre and not worry about cost, My pick would be the J-Retro or Sadowsky, especially if you're looking for "That" tone... kirkm24 02-21-2009, 03:41 PM Órale, I've heard alot of great thing's about the East Pre....I replaced my Marcus pre with a Aguilar OBP-1 and Loved it!

By "that tone" or you referring to Marcus Miller? I already have the John East J-Retro in my jazz and like it. I was just curious about the Aguilar pres. kirkm24 02-22-2009, 07:47 AM I think I was momentarily crazy or something. My bass sounds sweet and I shouldn't mess with it. depalm 02-22-2009, 08:11 AM I think I was momentarily crazy or something. My bass sounds sweet and I shouldn't mess with it. I wouldn't mess with it either. The East Preamp is a fantastic piece of engineering. I have a J-Retro on m J and IMO it's the most great sounding and versatile preamp out there. kirkm24 02-22-2009, 06:31 PM I wouldn't mess with it either.

Sometimes, I get the urge to tinker and coming on here and reading about stuff doesn't help matters.:smug: |
