Here's the Duncan Scorcher I just installed in my converted acoustic: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I still need to wire an output jack and a volume knob. I think I also want to install a tone knob. Any suggestions on what I should do for the tone...

I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and do some trial and error stuff: connecting only one pickup, trying new wire, etc.

I've been having issues with the volume pot on an old guitar that I purchased. I replaced the pot, as well as the other electronics, but the issue persists. Let me explain the problem. At full volume, the guitar sounds great, but when I nudge the knob down, it gives a good amount of harsh...

I just ordered a pickup yesterday for my acoustic guitar/bass guitar conversion. I'll let you know how it works out.

Those look pretty cool... and really inexpensive. Has anyone here tried one of these bridge piezos?

Yeah, I figured there was no merit in what that guy said. "But the box says its for an electric guitar."

I just had some dude at sam ash tell me that I needed a bass pickup--that an electric guitar pickup won't work.

Hey, don't worry about. It's cool. Mine actually doesn't sound half bad. Using a condenser mic, I can get it to sound like an electric (eqing out the highs) or a standup. The flatwound strings with a fretless fingerboard are also pretty cool. But yeah, the downside is the added tension...

Alright, I'm over it. Invalid Link Removed How does this thing look? Once again, I'm looking more at price than quality.

You know, I don't mean to be harsh, but it's just that whenever I ask for advice about this project, I never get any help because people spend all their time telling me that its not worth it. This is a perfect example. We're not discussing pickups, we're having some stupid argument.

So, let me restate the original question.

The amount of time that people have spent criticizing my project and providing their unsolicited opinions has been phenomenal. I get it. You think its a waste of time. Well it isn't for me. Get over it.

Well, it isn't a specific model--its actually an acoustic guitar that I converted into a bass. So basically, I'm just looking for an inexpensive, reliable electric pickup to mount on it. Something very versatile and cheap. It's a studio setup, so I don't have to worry about any fancy wiring...

I am a beginner and I am looking to purchase my first pickup system for my bass guitar. I've done some research on the internet, and I've got a basic idea of what's going on, but I'd like to get some input from people who have had first-hand experience with different types of pickups. How...

That saddle mic looks pretty cool, but I'm just looking for a normal bass pickup... like the ones found in a normal electric bass. Sure, I could just buy one online, but I'd like to get some advice from people who have used specific pickups in their own builds. Do any of you luthiers have...
