I fitted a single coil pick up to my gone fishing cbg with a volume control but alas nothing would work!

I wired every thing up as per instructions.

mmm me thought I'll try the peizo wired that to the volume but no worky?

so I wired the peizo directly to the jack  its working! so I re soldered the single pick up no worky again

swapping wires around made no difference.so out came the single pick up .

I then put the earth wire to the amp jack plug ..tip.. and the red wire to the lower pin  it worked.

I tap the pick up and it made a tapping noise through the amp .so that proved that the pick up is working ok ,but why it wouldn't it work wired directly to the jack ,the peizo did so the jack is wired ok.

here's some pictures..

I manage to get it sorted it was the earth problem like you guys said.

the picture john gave me doesn't show the earth wire to that little lug on the turning knob .!!

had time today to fanny on with my cbgs etc .

my neighbor popped  in  and notice my cbg gone fishing.

he was quite impress and also like the sound and you know what! so did I.

as for the knob! I don't think it is necessary  for home use,stage maybe yeah. 

Glad it worked out!
