Just wondering if any of you know of a reputable supplier for pre-EB style, 2 band StingRay preamps?
I've seen a guy on eBay USA, who offers a "home-made" replacement, but he doesn't appear to offer worldwide delivery and besides, there are usually issues with customs fees .
Any thoughts .... ?

I wouldn't get hung up on pre EB pre's or pups myself cause I'd speculate you couldn't tell the difference.
Regardless, I've noticed those pre's on ebay and seems they're comparatively inexpensive - in fact pretty cheap in recall. "Appears" to me indicates you're assuming and I'd email him (free) and ask. I dont' normally ship outside the country but I've had guys email me and as long as they have a decent track record and can communicate effectively in English, I usually will do it for small items like a pup or pre.
Postage has changed lately but last instance you could ship USPS Global for $5 and it'd get anywhere within a week and there's no customs on that I'm aware of. At any rate, for something that's hard to find, if you can get something close, I wouldn't haggle over a customs fee.
The guy's probably your best source - and only realistic shot in the near future. Pre's tend to go south after about 10 years so the real thing in working order is a long shot.
