The best places to get a definitive answer would be from EMG or Aguilar. EMG has some informative support docs on their site. In general, though, I would expect the answer to be no, and that the wiring will need to be done carefully. Active EMGs contain a preamp inside the pickup that requires power to operate. catrunes Junior Username: catrunes Post Number: 24 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:13 pm:    ya its my schecter sixer that i got all that in. i dont have an alembic just yet. i was thinkin of callin emg up an askin em tomorrow anyway, theyve always been pretty chillin.
