Oakbear Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I'm considering a self build, and whilst my general woodworking skills are pretty good, i know little about electrics. The concept is a singlecut fretless 6, and i want plenty of mwah and acoustic tones, but a bit of flexibility is always nice. I'd like an under-saddle piezo, but also a single humbucker, switiching between either or both, with the possibility of blending. I know i'll need some kind of buffer for the piezo. How would it work if both were wired to a preamp? Any suggestions or wiring diagrams? Thanks in advance! Edited November 19, 2010 by Oakbear Quote
franzbassist Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I have a D-Tar [url="http://www.d-tar.com/eclipse.shtml"]Eclipse preamp[/url] in my Veillette Archtop fretless, which uses a piezo bridge and humbucking mag. Seems the perfect option, and I think you can get them from their UK distributor [url="http://www.smart-distribution.co.uk/amplification/dtar/intro.html"]SMART[/url]. Cheers Gareth Quote
Oakbear Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 Thanks Gareth that looks like a nice bit of kit! I can't find that product in the uk, but'll do some digging i think! It's made me realise i need to learn a fair bit though! Anyone have any links for wiring a piezo and magnetic pickup for bass? Any other ways i could do this or other products? Quote
Oakbear Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 Would an East MPB 01 do the trick? I so what else would i need to purchase? Quote
