The hum with piezos is due to the amp not being properly grounded. I have seen this a few times. Old 2-prong outlets are replaced with new 3-prong outlets so you are able to plug in newer devices but if a ground is not connected to that 3rd prong then its not doing anything. The fact that this...

Um ok.... If you didn't like it why didn't you contact me for a refund?

What brand of pickup is it? Where is it attached? I didn't understand.

I did a little reading and it looks like the only way they will lose a significant amount of sensitivity is if it is exposed to extremely high temperatures. "The degradation is highly correlated with temperature. The less sensitive 'natural' single crystal materials (gallium phosphate...

Piezo's do start to lose their ability to generate electricity over time but I am not sure how long it takes. I don't think it is something that happens over the course of a few days though for you to notice. I would think it is a very gradual process.

I think electronics engineering has come a logs way in 20 years. As for the piezo's you can buy for $.002 online; all I have to say to that is you get what you pay for. Those are absolute garbage. The piezo chip in the cheap ones is thinner than a sheet of paper. The crystals convert mechanical...

Ok I won't post anything else about my pickups. I just paid $100 to DBC for the same thing and can't afford to pay another $120 here

Great thanks a lot!
