Default Anthem SL with K&K in lieu of the Element?

Has anyone successfully replaced/rewired the Anthem SL system to include the K&K PWM in lieu of the Element undersaddle pickup. Should be simple to do right? Unsolder the Element (which in and of itself is passive before hitting the preamp end pin) and wire in the K&K (also passive).

Of course this could also lead to experimentation with which side of the end pins each source would sound best. K&K in front, TruMic behind or TruMic in front, K&K behind.

That's a cool idea and definitely worth a try!

My only concern would be that the crossover and blend between the TruMic and Element (aka K&K in this case) is fixed in the Anthem SL. I think if I tried this I would want the full version of the Anthem so that I had control over the two.

I'd love for someone to give this a shot. I wouldn't be worried about the crossover as much as the EQ. On the SL, the crossover is set at something like 250 Hz (don't quote me on that). Great, the K&K would just give the lower 3-4 strings but not any of the harmonics and let the mic do most of the work... keeping the low stuff out of the mic to prevent feedback.

Take my lyric/k&k demo, rolloff the highs on the k&k, and lows off the lyric, and youd be 99% there?

Interesting idea to blend the two. Bump for curiosity.
