So I've been thinking about putting together an ultra modern metal guitar.
Finding the most modern takes on everything. Hardware, body material, pickups, the works.
To see if a 100% "modern" (almost futuristic) guitar is any good. I know lace alumnitones are (in my opinion) pretty sweet. And as far as i can find there the most radical and modern technological take on the guitar pickup! And all active fans know the awesomeness of the SD blackout modular preamp. Which is also a very modern take on guitar tech. So i was thinking 'how would they sound together?'

So has anyone done it? Is someone willing to try it?
as i said. I want to do this myself at some point so all i really want to know is
Is it possible? Will they work?

P.s. I'm not looking for opinions on if it'll sound good. as tone is a personal taste thing. Many of you will dislike the idea purely because its a lace pup or an active pup. And thats fine. we all have our likes and dislikes. I just want to know the hard facts of its viability

I would say to get the lower output Alumitones if you're going to throw a preamp on them. Pairing them with the Deathbucker might be overkill. :D

I think its an awesome idea too :)

Also i have a blackout preamp with a pair of invaders and they ROCK! (Adds that bit of high end the invaders lack as well as making them even more brutal) so i think deathbuckers will work nice. And hey... Its metal. Overkill is never enough lol. I think i'll test it out when i get a sevenstring lol

Just by reading the BO Preamp's product page, it should work. It says ' Blackouts™ Modular Preamp is an ingenious way to get that high-gain, active guitar sound with ANY passive four-conductor pickup. Simply by swapping a volume pot for a Blackouts Modular Preamp volume pot, you can get active pickup performance with a more classic look.

It sounds interesting. Not steal your idea, but I may just have to try this myself on a build that I'm currently refinishing.
