"I'm not sure the original question was answered... where'd you go poster? I followed this same diagram and am having the same issue the original post described: Plugging in produces sound, but turning the volume knob has subtel effects on…"

"I noticed my 2 year old answer and must update it. I now use dual piezos in parallel and they work great (for piezos, if you don't like a piezo sound you never will) I prefer them mounted in the bridge. This seems to isolate them from…"

"I don't understand all this talk about one or two piezo's. C.B. Gitty himself told me that for the best sound I should install at least eleven piezos in every guitar."

David L. replied to Jerryrig240's discussion Double peizo's

"The bottom one is the way I normally do it - it should be labelled in parallel though (both positives together and both negatives together). I normally don't bother with a tone pot on piezo discs as they don't do much to the sound."

Maddog replied to Jerryrig240's discussion Double peizo's

"I know this is an old thread but can anyone tell me which of the 2 diagrams on wiring 2 piezo's is best? I'm thinking in series would be the way to go maybe?"

Downsizing my rig

So, in a nut shell. I have been out of the game for a while. I have not built anything (or really had the time or extra cash to do so) or played much in almost a year now. But, a buddy of mine wanted me to build him a diddley bo....and now I am back at it again. I finished his build ( he is very happy with it) and now he has got me playing again. So....kinda the reason I hung it up was I wanted to down size my gear to something a bit smaller, thought I would come up with something…See More

Could you explain how your snare is connected to your HiHat.
I'm playing with a suitcase kick bass and a HiHat.
I wanna add the snare.
Haven't seen any photos as of yet.
Thanks Sir

At 6:21am on August 8, 2010, MrRandomWritings (Backwater Bri) said…: If you've got a plank and an E string you've got a diddly bow to test your pickup. Interesting comment - thanks

At 7:09pm on August 1, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: howdy, i just stopped by ta say---a zither pin is used on instruments like zithers mountain dulcimers and some harp type instruments in the place of tuning keys. and the fretboard on the vintage nutrua build is cocobolo and its a martin reject fretboard i got from e-bay relatively cheap. thanks fer yer questions.happy to answer when i can.

At 8:39am on July 15, 2010, Joker said…: Hey Jerryrig, New Market is kinda near Louisville Ky right? I think I want to try to get a cbg gathering worked out for next summer for folks in the tristate area. Would you be onboard? I don't think I want to do a full on fest but maybe just something where all the cbg folks can get together and jam, trade building techniques and stuff like that. What do you think?

At 11:41am on July 9, 2010, Joker said…: Jerryrig, thanks for the comment on my vid. Gald you liked it. I like to use heavy reverb on the vocals, big influence from The John Spencer Blues Explosion

At 12:30am on July 9, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: hello just stopped by ta let you know the final pics of the red brick guitar are coming up shortly--check them out--the pickup is a tesla transducer built by ted crocker.it sounds good and i,m going to do a video soon also if you would like to hear it. thanks.

At 7:03am on May 7, 2010, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you Jerryrig240. The secret really is the Pinnacle movie making software that I received as a gift from John McNair. He really fixed me up. I used to use Windows Movie Maker, but it does not have the same excellent sound quality as Pinnacle. I am only using a little Canon Power Shot SD300 camera with a built in mic to shoot the video. Thank you for your comment. Enjoy.
