Emg active pickup switch.

[spyder]

Hi guys. 

I might want to put an active EMG pickup and preamp back into my Warrior bass. 

I want to use two switches on the pickups to turn them on and off instead of a blend pot. One switch per pickup. 

Should I use the switch to cut the battery power to the pickup or cut the audio output feed. 

The bass has holes for the switches already cut. This is why I want to try this arrangement. 

Can anyone help.

Cut the output signal, there will still be a signal (albeit minuscule) if you just cut power to the internal pre in the pickup.

Perfect. 

Many thanks for your quick response.
