Anybody ever installed the Sadowsky preamp?

My $.02: Keep the bass stock and use the outboard Sadowsky (or Aguilar) preamp. They're fantastic and, if you add another bass, you can use the same preamp for it too!

+1. However I did put a Sadowsky pre and J-pups in my Jazz bass. Sounds nice. The outboard pre will do pretty much the same if you like bending over all the time to adjust the tone pots on the fly.
