Gonna be hard to do. Burr-Brown didn't actually make preamps, they made ICs, including the first solid-state op-amp. I'm guessing it's one of these used in the preamp circuit. Texas Instruments bought them out over a decade ago, I suppose it's possible that TI still makes that op-amp, or...

Did you ever think about rolling your own? This might give you an idea or two: http://music-electronics-forum.com/t15653/ Starts out talking about Wal pickups, but also gets into the Magnum. As a long-ago Magnum player, I always wondered what it would have sounded like with the pickup in the...

A number of years ago when the band I was in was just starting out, we were preparing to cut a demo; our first time in the studio. We were doing a variety of tunes to demonstrate our diversity, and had a Gershwin song (maybe "Embraceable You"?) as our "Jazz standard". I crafted what I...

I have 2 EB SR5s, one fretless. They are "Fretty", and "Johnny Nofrets"

You can get an MTD CRB (passive P) for like $489, the 5-string is $549.

I had the same thing happen with my first bass, a late 70's-ish Fender Musicmaster. Ordinarily I wouldn't have left it in the car, but I was caught in a snowstorm driving home from a rehearsal and by the time I made it home, I'd completely forgotten it. There wasn't in inch on that...
