Anyway it all sounds like a good idea and would join up at the start. One thing comes to mind, with all the talk of what Shane might do wouldn't it be a…"
Glenn Reither replied to Dave Hughes's discussion Violin pickup? in the group CBG wiring & electronics."I'd like to know how these work out too! The best thing about it is it has a phones output too. I've been getting good results with large discs (35mm) thru a Tillman preamp circuit I build on perfboard then on to vol and tone."

Mike Vaughan replied to Dave Hughes's discussion Violin pickup? in the group CBG wiring & electronics."I dont know about the violin pick ups but I have found a great pick up.

Dave Hughes replied to Hip Bone Bellaire's discussion Can this be done on a 3 string? Ry Cooder - Feelin' Bad Blues"I wasn't really disagreeing with you mark with what I said about Clapton and what you say about it being said too many times is spot on and probably goes some way to explain Claptons response.

Violin pickup?
Just seen these on Ebay and wondering if anyone has used anything like it. Think it would look nicer than some guitar preamp setups I've seen as its just got a volume and tone pot instead if those EQ looking setups I've seen. Also the size of the pickup is spot on for going under a 3 or 4 string bridge. Not a bad price either :-) See More
Don Goguen replied to Dave Hughes's discussion Jason Lollar article, well worth a read if your making pickups in the group CBG wiring & electronics."The key to how much you want to pot your pickup all comes down too how loud you want to play and what you want it to sound like. I also find that the more microphonic the pickup is, the worse it sounds with heavy distortion. I have a couple of…"

MrRandomWritings (Backwater Bri) said… - Hi Dave - you asked about the pen - yes I have a cream coloured one I use for walnut necks and a black one for the maple. It is an easy way to make it look as though you have inlaid something. Seems fairlyt long- lasting - I got them from a craft shop - not cheap - about £3.50 each but you get a lot of dots for that!

Yellowbelly Flatt said… - Hi there Dave.
So, another player/builder from the East Midlands. Great. I'm currently living near a town called Newark.
Welcome to the site and to the Brits. I try and play in public when I can, but shifts and other musical interests play havoc with playing.
Look forward to news of your progress.
Yellowbelly Flatt.
