Uhh, why not more ? :wink: :roll:Such circuit is a contender for a single-ended "ultramojo" onboard preamp.
But be prepared for the tone to be WAY different and I'll bet you won't like it.
... there must be a performance benefit, or else they wouldn't do it.
And I also think the pickups aren't something "special" either, so ...
this must be applicable elsewhere, floating designs are pretty common in audio, or are they rare?
You won the bet. How did you know?

Have been thinking about this. Something bifilar I guess for "politically correct behaviour".You may want to try a common mode choke in series with the pickup leads.
Have been scratching my head for a while and wasn't able to decipher that one. I have a vague idea, but could you post a snippet?You might also consider tying the output of your single-ended preamp to the pickup shell through a resistor pad (inverse of your preamp's gain). Might do as much to reduce noise pickup and add a lot less preamp noise than the differential approach.

Did you by any chance mean to generate an attenuated inverted signal from the output and feed the pickup "ground" wire with it?
@Alembic circuits: there must be a SVF filter circuit in
Unsurprisingly using just that TS-style circuit before a 'dry recorder' won't give me the same sound - it could have comparable drive, but doesn't give the tone-in-a-room feel.Situationally, I am primarily recording.
