    Day and night! I did this swap from a Sadowsky Metroline stock pre to JE Uni Pre ….. oh man! The John East mode those Sadowsky jazz pickups SING! If I can be more specific, I would say that there much more booty on the bass now. More details going on in the low mid range and with the ability to...

    About the wheels there’s so much that is still unclear to me as well, but I have posted some initial ideas on where some frequencies might be on the spectrum so maybe that would be of any help. But yeah you are pretty much right about your thoughts. About the volume difference you might want to...

    About the wheels on the UNI-pre I tried outlining the “possible” positions of some frequencies. I might be completely wrong about this. I tried e-mailing Mr. East about it with no luck of getting a reply. Hopefully if he sees this thread he can confirm what I did here. Some say just go by ear...

    I just did actually a couple of weeks ago, on a Sire P10dx. Original preamp went bad on the mid pot. And man oh man with those original pickup set it’s already killin’. Imagine with a set of nordys or b-axis! I’m more than happy with this upgrade. Still playing around with the frequencies. In...

    Putting a preamp in a Sire V5

    About EMG I’ve had the pre and pickup for a while in my fender jazz. Not bad at all, just that anything I tried after that was better for what I was going for. Yes Audere classic is drop in, no mods necessary. Good luck! ow and if it is of any help, currently I’m running a combo of Nordstrand...

    I have sent these questions directly via email to Mr. East a week ago, but didn't get any reply so this is why I'm trying now to get in touch with him thru this thread. Hopefully we can get a reply clarifying this. I'm sure everyone owning this preamp has this question.

    I have a couple of questions regarding the frequency windows: 1. Lower bass filter is 20Hz - 80Hz. Does this mean that if the wheel is centered, the filter is set at 50Hz? If so, does this mean than that everything below 50Hz is not manipulated by the bass control? 2. High bass filter is 40Hz -...

    Putting a preamp in a Sire V5

    Yes I’m pretty happy with the stock pickups. But it’s always good until you try something “better” :) So I’ll just keep the stock for now

    Putting a preamp in a Sire V5

    I’ve had this past 2 years experience with Sire V3, V7, V7 vintage, V9 and recently got me two V5 which in one of them I installed the Audere classic 4-band. I then AB’d them. 1. I’ve had Audere in a couple of basses installed and it ever disappointed me. NEVER! 2. It responded very well with...

    Emg and Audere

    I’m looking forward to replacing my BQC with Audere 4-band also. Do have any opinion on the result/ test you did?

    Active MEC + Aguilar OBP2

    Well after this attempt I tries with Audere Audio and thanks to them for a great manual and customer support, where it is clearly explained that I need to incorporate a “fuse” between the pickup and the preamp. This was also provided by them!
