This is what i want to do:
I plan on buying a warmoth body/ neck to do a frank en build arround.
I want to build a preamp that would have a Avtive/passive switch as well as High/low boost/cut options I woudl like to incorporate the typical jazz system
My control set up would be
Volume- Volume- Tone- Low boost/cut- High boost/cut
Sorry if this made sense. I tried to explain it was best possible.

I'm not sure if you are talking about building an onboard preamp from scratch or buying one. I can't help you build one but would reccomend against it as there are many wonderful real-world tested pres out there. ie.
BARTOLINI
AGUILAR
JOHN EAST
ACG (FILTER)
GLOCKENKLANG
DELANO
NORDSTRAND
EMG

i made one, a copy of the MM SR type, and stuffed it into a cheap bass with a battery.
It sounded pretty damn good too, because the pig had 2 x V and 2 xT controls, i used the Tone controls for the common High/low boost/cut.
You will need to fit a switching type jack socket to switch the preamp on when the lead is plugged in.
