Series pup wiring mod for active circuit?

[WDeeGee]

Hey there.

I got a passive P bass which I modded with a switch to put both pickups in series. I totally love that sound. It's different than a regular HB, because the two pups are relatively far apart.

Anyhoooo... The P bass neck is a bit wide so I'm ogling a new one with a smaller nut width. Only catch is that it's an active one. I have the schematic here:

Theoretically I could cut the wires and install a switch to link the pups in series, like a humbucker. This will of course make for a louder signal.
My question is, will the preamp start clipping when it gets a hotter signal?

Anyone have any experience with series switching mod in active guitars?

Bumping this cause no one seems to know the answer.


So far.

I honestly don't know if that can be done. I'd be interested to know if this works. My thought is that it *will* clip the preamp, or the actual amp, and probably be pretty thick and wooly.
