Ok so im building my own bass. Ive always wanted to do this since i first started playing. Now i finally am but im getting parts similar to the musicman hopefully pulling in some of its sound. Ive pretty much decided i like the way the Nordstrand pickup double coil 5 string musicman replacement is. But the only problem I have is which preamp would be best to use for this pickup. I know how to follow diagrams but i dont know if certain preamps are "off limits" or wont work with this particular pickup. I was looking at bartolini preamps or aguilar but anything that works best should help give me an idea.

THANK YOU
