Hey, add a licenes plate or a metal plate with these pickups, and it helps a bunch! It spreads out the magnetic feild I think. On my new cbg I have been playing all week, (my licenes plate guitar video) that things growls and when I was building the pickup, it sounded a bit weak. But I threw it in this gutiar in hopes that it would work, and man, I mean, it is blowing me away how awesome it sounds. I am not going to lie, I do have to use a effects pedal, and I have to crank the volume a bit more, but it sounds pretty awesome for a home made pickup.

yeah my pickup was inspired by your youtube videos. I commented on your video on youtube saying that I had made one, but didn't know you were on CBN. Thanks, that is actually a really good way to make a pickup for a d-bow!

Hi - thanks for your comment - the transducer came from an electrical store here called Maplins - I didn't know what size to order so I just picked one!

thanks for the comments jerryrig. good boxes are very rare around here so a self made box is a good alternative if you can get some good wood like cedar to construct with. cheers

Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
