Double Bass I feel totally lost.

I am new to this forum and only have experience with one other in an unrelated interest. In that other, it sometimes gets a little nasty when "dumb" questions are asked. (I will soon find out if that is the case here!) I just returned to playing about 2 months ago after having not played in a band (or even really picked up the guitar) since 1981. I have a Peavey T-40 which I used to run through a Sunn Concert bass amp with two 15s. I just got into a Country Rock/Classic Rock band and bought an Ampeg B2-RE and an SVT410-HLF. I looked through these threads and find that the level of knowlege here is so far above mine that I don't understand most of the advice. Please forgive my ignorance.
ISSUE: I want to improve my sound while keeping it "clean" and I was thinking that maybe I need a preamp. I would need to keep it under $400. Any suggestions will be appreciated. You also being nice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Not to put too fine a point on it, but a Peavey T-40 is an electric bass guitar, right? You have posted this on the DOUBLE BASS side of the board, you may want to ask the folks over on the BASS GUITAR side of the board. Just click on FORUMS right under the talkbass logo...
