Wiring a piezo and humbucker?

Recommended Posts

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!

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

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?
