I've heard Piezo pickups described as "Quacky".... actually... I like that sound... I think it adds something to the genre.... The regular pickps have a more "regular electric guitar" sound.... I think the next one I build will have a switch and both pickups...
I had a piezo and magnetic in my box with a switch, it never worked right, so I eventually just, disconnected the piezo. I didn’t even find it . Gave up und just played through the humbucker, probably a knock off too. Humbucker all the way !,,
hey brother - have you ever heard Dar Stellabotta play? She uses a single piezo, through an "orange" amp, and a fuzz pedal for this total swamp, muddy distortion - and it really growls. I was going to use a piezo in my cigar box guitar, but now I just might use a single coil or a humbucker. Thanks
I hear that too!! My buddies would carry a couple around back in the late 70s.I mainly use an old VoxDA5. I do have a Silvwrtone 1344 tube amp from 1952, great for harp.
Wow! Me too. Lastly a lot of cbg too. It comes and goes.. I play ukulele blues 💙daily. I'm on the south edge of Kansas City, I'd love to jam with you! I don't drive, I have bad eyes. I save them for videos and learning I suppose. Too bad you are not down the street like in the day.

Move the camera back a bit so that we can see the guitar and what you are playing please : )
High Bright sound to it.
Wow Wery Nice love it
I hear you loud and clear, dirty even! I prefer magnetic, even a single coil, but humbucking is hard to beat. What is the amp?
A Roland Cube Street...but it sounds KILLER through a Pignose!

I usually buy an aftermarket p-bass pickup and use each part as a separate pickup. Cheap and good, it's like a mini p90.
Are you still playing? You sound great! I'm a finger picker, trying ro learn slide.
3 strings are limiting enough at the moment.
I rarely mess with the CBG...I posted a new video of a pickup I just installed...I’m mostly doing acoustic solo and ukulele nowadays

Piezo pickups need an equalizer to reach their full potential. $25 on eBay
I use humbackers
🔥🔥🔥
put a .001 or .01 cap at the input jack
for the piezo?
