American Jazz Bass Deluxe Preamp

[Bass Player 33]

I have 1996 American Jazz Deluxe V. It has the Suhr pups and Suhr 9 V system. I like the headroom of my Tobias 18 V bartolini bass. I am considering looking for the 18V preamp used from a gen 2 american deluxe jazz (2006 or 7 ish). I have thought about trying the Bartolini HR-4.6/918 preamp but, I don't wanna go away from the fender type tone (dont want it t sound too much like my tobias). I like vol, blend, stacked treble and bass with a seperate mid control. So any advise on this is very appriciated! Not sure that I want to swap out the Suhr pups just yet, I wanna try another preamp and give the Suhrs a chance for now.
