I bought a used Victor Bailey 4 String Jazz bass today. As you know they are discontinued.

The seller removed the original preamp years ago and can not find it. The bass is currently wired passive.

Does anyone know where I could purchase the original preamp or where I might find one? I have sent a message to fender customer support.

Thank you.

If you really want that bass to sound awesome, I wouldn't put in the stock preamp. Drop in a Sadowsky preamp. Not to knock Fender, but their preamps are at best marginally good.

I had a Fender American Deluxe FMT Jazz which used a very similar preamp and pickups to the Victor Bailey bass. Now note it was a very good sounding bass. I dropped in the Sadowsky preamp and WOW! The sound was just incredible! The bass actually sounded very close to my Sadowsky basses.

My 2 cents!
