Digideus Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 L.R.Baggs T-Bridge I saw this and an Idea came to me about using this in a guitar. Thing is im planning to use an EMG81 in the bridge poisition and I was wondering if anyone here had any experience of this bridge and integrating it with other active pickups. L.R.Baggs also make an onboard mixer/preamp (details HERE) but this seems to be for passives and something tells me that I wouldnt be able to use actiuve pickups with this. Anyone have any advice?

Pr3Va1L Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 yes. use schaller's piezo tom. At universal jems: 82.50$ other than that, you could build the MIMF preamp that does the same thing and won't cost you 80$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Will that Schaller bridge work on the old ABR-1 posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Q. Can I use the Ctrl-X with active magnetic pickups? A. Yes. The output of the active magnetic pickups can be wired to the Ctrl-X just like the passive ones. So, yes, it'll work with EMGs - the MIMF preamp probably won't work as well unless you mod it to delete the active input stage for the magnetic pickups. And while you can probably buy the parts for the MIMF pre for less than $30.00, there's no guarantee that you can build a reliable, quiet preamp from them unless you've got a fair amount of experience and technique. Add in the small package, pre-wired harness, integral mono/stereo switching and Baggs' reputation, and less than $100US doesn't sound all that expensive.
