    Trying to get that Journey bass sound

    BASS brothers & sisters, I have an effects question: I’m trying to get that bass sound Journey has. Whether it was Ross or Randy, the bass sound is consistent. Listen to “Who’s crying now” or "I'll Be Alright Without You", I hear some Chorus but what’s giving it that tight growl?

    My Hartke KB12 is distorting bad on low notes, fine on mids and highs. Did I blow my speaker?

    I've tried messing with many different settings to try and get the distortion to stop, none have worked.

    My Hartke KB12 is distorting bad on low notes, fine on mids and highs. Did I blow my speaker?

    My Hartke KB12 is distorting bad on low notes, fine on mids and highs. Trying to do a little triage before I take it to a repair shop. Does this sound like a blown speaker? Seems to me if it was an electronics issue it would distort across the sound spectrum. Thoughts?

    What kind of preamp is on my 2006 Korean Lakland Skyline DJ4?

    Y’all are exactly right, gotta be JRetro. Thanks!

    What kind of preamp is on my 2006 Korean Lakland Skyline DJ4?

    I guess you could be right, every JRetro for Jazz I’ve seen has two flip switches, not one. But it’s possible.

    What kind of preamp is on my 2006 Korean Lakland Skyline DJ4?

    I'm trying to determine what kind of preamp is on my 2006 Korean Lakland Skyline DJ4, anyone know if this is an Audere? It's not a John East J-Retro for sure, but not sure what it actually is. Anyone?

    Best preamp pedal that permos like John East J-Retro onboard preamp?

    Not looking to reinvent the wheel, surely there's a bass preamp pedal on the market that's similar to the J-Reto on-boards.

    Best preamp pedal that permos like John East J-Retro onboard preamp?

    I've got John East's J Retro preamp's on my Fender J-Bass and my Lakland DJ4 and love them. I've got two other Fenders that don't have on-board preamps, I'd like to find a pedal that performs as nicely as the J Retro's do. Any suggestions?
