Bass Preamp part 1

Ive been attempting to build another bass preamp. This is something ive been going at for years. The current incarnation seems to be the best one yet. Here's a little description and Progress report

- Opamp gain stages. Uses a James style tone stack followed by a parametric mid section. (SVT inspired). I'll try reversing the EQ order just so i can hear the difference. I'll have to build better gain stages.
- Thinking of what front end to use. Would like to use JFETS so i can get a little grind out of it when pushing it hard.
- Im liking the tone im getting out of it but its still to early to say. Its just a couple of days old. Im getting hissing noises from it but the gain stages are pretty basic. Can still add LPFs in key places plus try a few more tricks. Proper gain staging too.
