Best preamp for a precision

Hi everyone,

I’m after a preamp that will go well with my precision style bass. Ideally as cheap as possible but I will cough up if need be.

My bass has dimarzio dp123 pickups and goes through an terror which I really like the sound of which I guess I’m trying to recreate with my preamp tone.

The closest tone I can compare my current tone to is in the link.

Could this tone or similar be achieved through a preamp with my current set up?

Either the Tech21 VT or Para Driver will do it. I wouldn’t recommend the regular Sansamp as it’s a bit too scooped in the mids. You could take a punt on the Behringer BDI21, although a clone of the Sansamp its not as scoopy, and if you can track one down it will probably be for less than £30.

Also recommend Tech 21, but the DP3X. It does that nasal grind but also has a crossover to keep the lows clean and compressed.

I have a Terror Bass too, and my best tip is to boost the mids and cut the bass on the eq. The flat sound is not all knobs at 12 like the markings suggest, it's more like bass and treble off and mids maxed when BassGearMag measured it. Bear in mind that is with the older version, not sure how similar the new one is!
