I have a bass that is currently wired up with a passive P pickup in the middle and an EMG MMTW musicman style active humbucker at the bridge wired with volume and tone per pup.
I've just upgraded a yamaha bass of mine with an east preamp and so I have a yamaha active EQ from a bb605 with blend, volume, bass, treble, and mid frequency with a mid on off switch and I'm thinking about putting this into the P/MM bass but leaving the mid switch set to off and the control inside the cavity since I don't use these and don't want to drill more holes in a bass so I can return it to passive controls if needed.
Basically will the yamaha active EQ meant to run at 9V work with my EMG MMTW pickup which atm is being run at 18V?
If they are compatible is it possible to run the pickup at 18V while the EQ is at 9V or do they both need to go at the same voltage, I'm worried about frying the preamp is I try it at 18V?
The EMG pickup currently has a switch to go between humbucker and single coil with a bleed mod on the humbucker so it is the same volume as the single coil so it doesn't overdrive my amp
Any help greatly appreciated
