hi all , i am a proud owner of another great lej that brian has produced ,

ive had it for about 8 months and im loving every minute

any opinions on nickel vs stainless steel ?

at the moment im using black diamond 45-125 nickels , and they feel a bit harder to play , and i feel the low B does not come out as well as it can , if u know what i mean ...

That bass is hotter than a 10 lbs bag of Jalepenos!

is that a new lej pre amp ? or is it the same one only with more controls ?

reason for asking is cause it sounds kinda more vintage in a way then my lej ...

Hi Marantz!! The pre amp in the first bass I play, LEJ5 Box Elder exotic, is a Demeter pre amp, three band with individual frequency selectors for each band, low/mid/high, and a gain knob by the bridge.

I'm just putting this out there - I prefer the 2 band LEJ pre. It's nice and simple. I often wonder how many times we actually use the gazillion controls on a preamp; I know that I personally tend to set and forget and play my LEJ in the passive mode nearly all of the time.

Passive mode huh? I haven't done that much with mine...I should really try that. I think I just like the extra headroom from the pre!

Hey B, I really dig the tone of the PJ that Steve was demoing. I look forward to playing that bass next week.

See you at NAMM.

I went to the Low End site earlier today and it looks like Brian has some monster basses for NAMM! Wish I was going to try them out.

The old Tyler pre I presume? Great preamp.

Actually Demeter's pre, but yes the one that James Tyler used as well... in the Future I'm going to raise the treb freq some for a little higher end snap.
