Vester Clipper (thumb copy) preamp advice please!

So, I picked up this vester clipper recently, in bright red gloss. I had a fretless one a few years ago and loved it. (of course I sold it!! I always do!!) 

This one is a fretted model, sounds killer, almost jazz style fizzy gurgle. The thing is, the on board electronics are a bit past their best and I want to replace. It's a vol/vol/tone arrangement but is battery powered. Does anyone know of a good replacement?

Nice! I have a Tanglewood Funkmaster which looks *very* like a Warwick Streamer.

I'm sure Kiogon will be along shortly and he will hopefully be able to help you out.

If not I have an EMG-BQC preamp that I don't have any use for, might involve a few extra pots though.

Is this yours? Stacked knobs et al?

John East gear is great.  Something like his J Tone would be a good option at £150, but check with him about the suitablility of the knobs going through body rather than onto a bell plate.  John is mega helpful as well as being a brilliant engineer.
