Hi,Could you suggest me a good guitar preamp, but with Bipolar transistors or ICs. Thanks
I'd suggest the Dean Markley K20-X preamp. Sounds great, has a 3 band EQ and uses commonly available parts.
There is a vero layout for it here:

The schematic for the whole amp is here: http://deanmarkley.com/Info/LegacyAmps/Schematics/D1515.pdf
**EDIT**
Please note, it does use a 500 ohm potentiometer for the Mid EQ. You can get away with using a much more common 1k potentiometer without issue though.
