This extraordinary bass was the idea of one very special customer. After hearing John East´s “Pee-Retro” elecronics, he requested a Vintage 51 with TWO P-Retros, one for each pickups. John East wired them up for us, also using two 9 Volt batteries. Now each pickup has its own parametric EQ! Four double knobs give you access to limitless sound colors. Listen to the sound samples in the video below. We built a couple of those, one of them is now on sale here!
