Grayzie Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi all Wondering about the J Tone pickups as on ebay. I play mainly jazz/blues, some slap/rockabilly. Any advice on which to go for, also would I need a pre-amp at all? Any help gratefully received!!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I have one, mine is the black rubbery single-element one. It sounds fine to me - not the most faithful reproduction of the acoustic sound, but still a good solid, balanced sound you can work with. Whether you need a preamp depends on your amp - check the manual to find out the input impedance. If it's 1M ohms or higher you're good to go, but few piezos sound their best with anything below 1M ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DorsetBlue Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have the Green/Red sided ones. Still working on getting a tone I like but they are certainly high output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
