At 1:43am on July 11, 2010, Patrick Breton said…: actually i have a big issue with a old japan pickup i am trying to add to the only CBG i have made so far, i first try out the piezo but didn't like the sound of my piezo especially when i was running it trough a distortion pedal, so i plugged the old japaness pop and sounding very nice but got so much humm or back noise and i try potting it but still did not worked out and when i touch it it make a ground noise kinda, have you ever run to that kinda problem ?
i was thinking of getting a new pop from ebay those cheap one, also would love to make one but missing time for this right now and just wanna jam my CBG with distortion :D thanks for any help :D

pretty funny, i was a Carpenter aswell but since we moved here in lac st jean i did find much work in the carpentry so i changed job and became a bicycle tech :D
Also wanted to tell you again how much i like you CBG work, very clean and simple but beauty stuff,
hope when i got back to this, i do nice job like you do !!!
later and have a great one !!!
Patrick
