| I e-mailed John this:
" Hi John,
I am about to purchase one of your pre’s, the J-retro 01, for my 4 string Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazz bass. I was wondering if you had heard of any problems with the fit of your pre and this particular bass. I made sure that a battery will fit in the cavity, but am concerned with the battery fitting with the new pre installed.
Thanks,
Steve Araujo
P.S. I converted your suggested 32.5 mm depth to inches and it converted to 1.27 inches, I guess a little over 1 ¼ of an inch…is this correct?"
And I just got this e-mail from John:
"Hi Steve
The first Retro mag review was done with a preamp fitted to that type of bass and dropped straight in.
With the battery fitting OK and your depth measurement, I can't see any problems from where I am.
BTW, does your bass have a thin metal ground plate in the bottom of the control cavity?
Our bass did have. If yours does, it can be removed if that helps on the depth front. It helps screen the stock passive controls, but not vital for the Retro. But we didn't need to remove it anyway, and grounded it to the jack via the black wire on the Retro. The bridge ground wire was soldered to it too and we left that as it was.
Come back to me if you need furher help.
Cheers
John"
That's great customer service!!!!
