The problem is cable capacitance and cable triboelectric noise---not the end of the world, but with FETs you can put the part right with the pickups in the same fashion as the cheap electret mics. Run a hot and a ground and have a pullup resistor at your box.
Also I want to add my voice to those urging you to follow your vision on this and not be discouraged. I am sure you are going to do great things and our purpose is just to see that you get some results for this initial effort.
I worked on a astronomical detector system for four years of 60-70+ hour weeks before the system power was ever turned on. When asked how long it would be to completion at any particular point, I was usually only able to see about two weeks of work ahead for the last year or so! I barely kept my job. But when things actually all did get brought up, it only was about a week to debug and my design was vindicated.
