Buyer Comments:

    " I have to say GREAT PRODUCT!!! I installed it in about 3 mins. The perfect cure for "spent electrionics". I have all my standard tones and easy access to new tones. Equal to or better than the 18 volt preamps in my 5 string basses.
I have new life in my old 4 string Jazz basses."

buyer: bongo.860

 "I have got the Jazz control plate today! It's friggin' amazing!! So easy to hook up! Makes my Mexi Jazz sounds insane without a pickup upgrade! Like I always said, "A "cheap" bass can sound like a pro bass with the right wiring and setup." Thank you so much! The tone option and bypass makes this more valuable than an active system. I am going to show everyone and tell them about your mods. In the past I put in series/paralel switching. It was a great improvment, but this trumps it ."  buyer: brnxsmrave90mv

"Hey I just installed the Vari-tone jazz plate on my bass. I couldn't believe the improvement! I put in on a 5-string jazz-bass copy with low quality pickups. I opted not to replace the pickups just so I could see how big of an improvement the vari-tone made. Let me tell you, it is like night and day. I am so happy with this unit. I am not an electrical guy by any stretch of the imagination, but this was so easy to install. I'm thinking now I should install this unit on my mia fender. I love the variety of tones and the pure sound that only a passive unit can produce. You are making a great product. I will order again soon!"
-Peter VanHook

"Just to let you know that I'm really happy with the varitone switch. It adds a whole lot of subtle versatility to my jazz bass and whats more, does it without losing that familar Jazz signature tone. I would recommend those considering more expensive options to give your unit a try before splashing the dosh...i'm glad i did."
All the best,  alistair

    "Why isn't this the standard? Every J Bass deserves one. Superb upgrade. Firmly recommended to all J bassists."  buyer: 8a8el17

     "I Found a Pre amp I like better than the Audere I tossed one of these in my fretless Jazz bass today and have been blown away by it:  it adds a TON of colors. I want to hear it on a fretted bass soon. You can't beat the price either! ":-)   Robert Schuh

     "I like very much your varitone! It helps my Jazz to express a variety of sounds and in some case (5 and 6 position) add a character to fast slap phrases. I play most funky/fusion and jazz, so my goal it's to change sounds (from punchy bridge pickup Pastorius-style to superscoop M.Miller slaps) even in the same song...and your varitone really helps! Thank you for everything, i've appreciated your work...electronics are really clean and solder well made! Mail me if you create new "Futuristic-electronics-for-Fender- maniacs" i'll give it a look for sure!" Greetings from Florence,  Claudio

     "Vari-tone knob is Rad! craftsmanship awesome. My bass is alive again."  buyer: object 88

     "Great improvement for any passive Jazz Bass. EASY to install."  buyer: fishbassboy
