Preamp for under $400 with tone/bass adjustment?

Hi, I am looking for something so I can adjust bass on recordings i listen to. I have a Rogue Tempest tube amp and a $150 NAD preamp and a Uturn turntable. Does such a preamp exist? Or do I need to have yet another piece of equipment in the mix, like this? https://www.schiit.com/products/loki

Thanks all!

The Parasound Z Pre is a very nice pre in your price range when used, with tone controls.

Yep, as Eric said. I have one and like it a lot. Great value.

Check Safe and Sound, they occasionally have open box, full warranty, for sale under $400. That’s where I bought mine, for right around $360 IIRC.

Just bass and treble adjustments, but nice to have.

Or look for a used Dynaco PAT-4. Bass and Treble for each channel plus loudness and filters.

I thought you sorted the bass on your system with the MM/MC switch...

You can find a Parasound P3 used in that price range.
