Members hawkhuff Posted October 21, 2005 Members Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have a Fender MIM active Jazz 5 string. The pots, especially the tone is shot. Are there after market preamps for these? I recal Avatr makes one but does anyone else? Seymour Duncan? EMG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hawkhuff Posted October 23, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 Anyone recall? BP Magazine had an onboard preamp shoot out. Anyone recall the issue? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hawkhuff Posted October 23, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 Wow. Looks expensive. Is that also the J retro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yes. A bit crowdy but it all fits in a Jazz cavity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much the BTB-01 runs since it was already installed in my Fender V when I bought it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
