Lakland 55-01 stock pre-amp issues

[DWBass]

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the pre-amp starting to buzz a little? I'm wondering if a ground has come loose maybe but I'm getting a buzz. I do plan to replace the pre-amp anyway but I have to deal with what I have for now.

Yes, and it's one of the reasons I replaced the MK-1 pickups and preamp in my 55-01. I also did a full copper shielding job. The buzz is long gone.

Thanks for the reply. I think it's a shame Lakland continues to put these weak electronics in these great basses! I'm going to start with replacing the pre-amp first, then the pickups.
