So I was looking at the very well known EMG 81/85 set, and liked many of the benefits to it, especially being able to run long cable lengths and that the pickups are virtually noise free, so I was wondering if it would be possible to make a preamp that could incorporate these benefits, along with being able to add tone and not just cut it, like passive electronics, because I would much rather own a set of Dimarzio's and add this in then a set of EMG's just for the incredible tone of the Dimarzio's.

And who knows, maybe some day down the line I met shell out the 400 dollars for a set of Bareknuckle Nailbombs :icon_mrgreen:

Quackzed

try the amz mosfet boost
you could install it if you like it, it'll buffer your signal, as well as being able to boost it a bit,(quite a bit if you want)
i like boosters first in line for these reasons.
also they seem to wake up my tone controlls and make them less dull sounding and more usable to me...
nothing says forever like a solid block of liquid nails!!!
