Preamp : SD STC-3M4 or Aguilar OBP-3

My bass is ESP AP-SL5.

Invalid Link Removed

With 2 Bassline SMB-5D pickups and Seymour Duncan STC-3M4 preamp.

I don't like the slap switch and bass boost on this preamp.

So I consider to replace it with Aguilar OBP-3.

I play metal,not only aggressive sound but also need variable tone on my bass.

How about SMB-5D work with Aguilar OBP-3?
