Thread bump for an excellent question. I'd like to know the answer to this one as well.

Those pickups are made by Link Removed in China under license. They're all over EvilBay. I've never tried them, but if they're the same PU's that go into those OLP basses... you're definitely better off using it as a doorstop or something :rolleyes: My advice is to get another PU- one that...

So how could this varitone mod be done using a 5-way lever switch (the 'import Strat' variety) instead of the rotary chickenhead switch?

Thankyou Bassbenj for the link to the piezo tabs and cable! FWIW, I found a schematic for a 'no-frills' FET preamp here http://www.till.com/articles/GuitarPreamp/index.html, but the impedance of this device is only 3 meg. If anyone knows how to modify/add to that circuit to generate a...

Thanks David. Walter has already convinced me under saddle is the way to go, but it's always good to have things corroborated. I do want to use a Ghost system in a future build if funds permit. (Luthierie ain't cheap- it just creates new GAS problems). I gather from what you said that other...

I see your point Walter. I don't really want to create a mutitude of compromises by weakening the bridge's attachment to the body. I'll just have to hold out until I can find suitable piezo materials for placing under (or on top of, or inside) bridge saddles. I'm surprised though that even...

Thanks for the reply Walter. The bridge is just a regular one-piece "quick-load" Gotoh bridge, mounted slightly recessed into the body. I'm assuming the hot side of the piezo is the side with the crystal film embedded in the centre (the Australian for 'center'), and the ground side is the...

Hi all, I want to fit a couple of piezo disks (to run in parallel) underneath the bridge of a 5-string build I'm working on. I'd like to know the best way to keep the electronics grounded with under bridge piezos installed. The best solution seems to be to fit a thin wood shim under the...
