Are the Myung pickups passive? You need passive pickups to interface with the 3ZB module because of the impedance switching (which is very cool). Otherwise, if it has active pickups the new Classic 4 band interfaces with the addition of a couple of capacitors.
I actually have an audere 3zb 4-band in a modded RBX6JM, and highly reccomend it. I'ts a very useful, transparent sounding pre, and the 4-band EQ is voiced very musically. However, I can't comment on the sound of the stock pickups combined with the Audere as I swapped them out for MusicMan Style pups when I installed it.

I believe the original pups were passive. Two leads (red and white) go into the plastic plug that connects to the preamp board, and a third lead (black) is separate and connects to the cavity ground.

I'm currently in the process of refinishing my bass. I also re-sculpted the belly cut and the neck joint, and applied a hand-rubbed oil finish to the neck. I'll try to throw up some pics when it's finished.
