<p> Not yet, have some new strings on the way, well new to me strings.</p>
<p> I have used my 35" scale tuned Bead thru it and it does pretty well. When playing the B the cone moves quite a bit if I lean in some. But sounds good.This bass is tuned ADG, I think it is a good match for an acoustic git volume wise.</p>
<p> I may try one more piezo inside the bass for more volume.</p>

<p> Alright! Thanks for your help guys. It's all finished up and working great! I do want to make a wood cover to hide the battery and I might find some wicker to cover the speaker and make it look more rustic. Have room for another input or two also.</p>

<p> I have just replaced the 3 piezos with a single bottle capped piezo. Haven't strung it up yet but tapping on the lid is loud and clear. Just needed to reinforce this box a bit first.</p>

<p> I think the previous issue I was having with the earbud wires not working is that the red and green 'wires' are actually the wires. I thought that was insulation and was trying to use the grey wires they were wrapped with (grey must be the insulation).</p>
<p></p>
<p> I came to this realization after cutting the thicker expensive cable and noticing it had wire wrapped around the inner wires.</p>
<p> Any way I'm using this more expensive one.</p>
<p></p>
<p> Have the box built up though not finallized (needs some screws and a cover plate for the cabelas battery).</p>

<p>Must be those piezo's then, but it seems illogical that all 3 piezo's are bad.</p>
<p>Can you post a close up pic of the wiring and components?</p>

<p> The shunt doesn't break the circuit when cord is plugged in. I also found a mono jack (which I think I put in the working but glued together strum stick).</p>
<p> I also found a CD>Cassette device with a 1/8 jack. I cut the wire and they are same size as the headphone one I was using. Tried it also on both input jacks but all I get is static.</p>
<p></p>
<p> Still have that thicker wired 1/8 to 1/8 cable that I really on't want to cut if I don't have to.</p>

<p> Thinking of trying to find old used computer speakers with a 1/8 jack for the wire first. hmmm :(</p>
