EMG Musicman MM-HZ pickup - suggestions for onboard EMG preamp

[Yorkshire Bottom End]

I want to load an EMG system into my Sterling Sub Ray 4. The pickup I want is a MMHZ model and want a three knob layout with volume, stacked bass/treble and stacked low/high mid freqencies (plus jack socket).

Might seem a stupid question, but can I get an EMG onboard preamp (say a BQC) which comes with four knobs (inc a balance pot) and just leave the balance pot off? The Sub doesn't need a balance pot obviously as it's only got the one pickup. Can it be wired vol > bass/treble > mids > jack?

I want to keep it as simple as possible, and I don't want to start soldering or drilling into the bass to fit a side jack.

 

Does anyone have experience of doing this, and have you had any problems?
