The J-Retro 01 Deluxe is designed to fit directly into ‘J-Style’ deluxe basses. In most cases it won't need any further modifications to the instrument. Its high quality circuitry uses three stacked and a one single knob. Controls and functions include an active blend circuit, 3 band equalizer with bass, variable frequency mid, treble plus bright function and a passive tone, which functions in both active and passive modes. A very gentle built-in contour gives an immediate colour, without detracting from the basic sound of any bass. The active blend circuit prevents the loss, associated with many passive basses, when both pickups are up full - the signal from one feeds into the other and vice versa. However, a switch is included to allow a passive equal mix. A second switch – for passive mode is included in case the battery dies in crucial circumstances. This mode allows some useful settings too. Easy to fit, no need for routing or any modifications.
