A friend recommended a bass preamp called a Millennium. I was unable to find their website. I am thinking the name may be incomplete or Millenium may be a model name. Anyone know anything about this?
 
Peavey Millennium, not to be confused with their current Millennium BXP line. Discontinued, but still highly regarded/sought after. I believe you can still buy the preamps from Peavey(?). I bought one off of eBay a couple years ago. Well worth it, and I will have me an actual Millennium some day...
 
Your friend may be referring to a Millennia Preamp.

I was present during the recording sessions in Miami for the 1st Jaco Pastorius Big Band album a few years ago and several of the guest bassists (Richard Bona, Victor Wooten, etc.) played through a Millennia preamp to cut their tracks. It's an excellent sounding piece of gear. I don't recall the exact model number that was used, but I did make note of it for future reference. Unfortunately, I'm not at home to look it up.
